Ruti has unveiled their latest EP today, titled ‘Maybe I Got It Wrong’, and along with it, a beautiful song called ‘Monster’.
This acclaimed musician exudes finesse and quality in every aspect of their artistry, and their new body of work is no exception.
The single’s production treats listeners to an alt-pop production with subtle bossa nova elements, while the lyrics express the frustrations that arise from being surrounded by bad people.
“Whenever I perform this song I dedicate it to all of the men in my life that have wronged me. The song is my internal rage that just sits and bubbles. Sometimes I worry what it might manifest into. The song is like a quiet warning ‘go on push me to the limit and see what happens’. Sometimes my morals are tested by the people that rule this world – I’m only slightly joking. I think I just needed to expel some of that pent up anger watching how immigrants, queer people and honestly the global majority are demonised by people with the most power. But it’s also fuelled by my mundane day to day interactions with men that irk me to no end. Hopefully you can dance along to this song anyway.”
‘Monster’ is a good representation of what listeners can expect from the rest of the EP. Across the seven songs, you can experience Ruti delving into genres as diverse as pop and lo-fi folk, while still showcasing their sensational vocals. You can listen to the whole project right here.
