I’ve been anticipating this album ever since Ruthven released his 2017 debut single, “Evil.” Something about his style just speaks to the core of me as a music fan. It begins to make sense when you realize his influence from the likes of Prince, Peter Gabriel, Michael Jackson, and the like. These are the same artists I grew up on.
Ruthven masterfully channels these legends while crafting something distinctly modern and fresh. If you appreciate soulful vocals, electro-funk rhythms, and music that bridges past and present, Rough & Ready is an essential listen.
