Ruby Waters – Blow
Ruby Waters is a Toronto-based artist with both indigenous (Métis) and Slovakian roots. With musically gifted parents, she playfully developed a love for music, and an undeniable talent for quality songwriting.
Now only 23 years old, she is a seasoned busker already. She travelled through Canada and the United States, supported by the money she earned playing on the streets. No need to explain this provided her with a rich experience, which she shares via her always pure and honest lyrics.
Waters didn’t start releasing her music until 2018 though. A year later, her early singles were compiled on her first mini-album Almost Naked. This was followed by a second mini-album, If It Comes Down To It, in 2020.
Blow is the singer-songwriter’s first, all-new track of 2021. Another fine example of her raw sound, it’s based around lingering but powerful drums, and a simple piano melody. On top of that, as always, we’re treated with Waters’ strong lyricism. Somehow, it made me think of Neneh Cherry, which is never a bad thing.
