In The Spotlight

Ruti – “FLOWERS”

Born as Ruti Olajugbagbe in Southend-On-Sea, this British singer and songwriter grew up in a music-loving, multi-cultural household. She was exposed to a diverse musical palate, ranging from gospel and disco to Nigerian musician Fela Kuti. At 18 she won season 7 of The Voice UK. Since she’s played festivals like Latitude and The Great Escape, venues like The Deaf Institute and opened for Olivia Rodrigo. Inspired by Adele, Labi Siffre and Stevie Wonder, she debuted with “Racing Cars” in 2019.

Singing about finding absolute peace and emotional freedom with the person you love, her new single shows gratitude to the safe sanctuary of a lover in a turbulent world. Capturing her uplifting lyrics in a breezy melodic tenderness, the song creates a luscious and organic ambience. With a soothing acoustic guitar, sunlit percussion and ambient keys feeling like warm sunbeams stroking your skin, it’s the satiny comfort of her vocals that makes this indie-soul jewel feel like coming home.

Baby Rose – “Better”

Born Jasmine Rose Wilson in Washington, D.C., this singer/songwriter grew up in a bustling, music-loving household, where she was exposed to a wide variety of genres, from church hymns to 70s funk and acid jazz. Totally self-taught, she began playing piano aged 9 and entered a talent show aged 14. She’s played festivals like Reeperbahn and Mad Cool and venues like Paradiso in Amsterdam. Inspired by Nina Simone, Billie Holiday and Janis Joplin, she released her debut “Mortal” in 2019.

Singing about breaking free from a stagnant relationship, her new single chooses emotional healing and inner peace over staying caught in a vicious circle of broken romance. Taken from her recently released album “YEARNALISM”, this song is a mix of neo-soul and R&B. Relying heavily on vintage instruments and analog production, it’s the groovy bass, jazzy guitars and 70s-styled drums that create a smoky melody. And with her gravelly vocals, this slow-burning groove is intoxicating.
