Ruthie B by Ruthie Bram

In just three years, Ruthie’s exceptional voice has grown to reveal more of her soul, and her range of writing topics have broadened. One thing that remains unchanged is her stratospheric pleasure in writing and entertaining. Ruthie says, “I was born to write and sing for people and to tell their stories as well as my own. That’s what I want to accomplish in my first album.” Even though Ruthie possesses talent that exceeds her age, she is a real American teen. Her songs reveal the unfolding changes of a normal teenager-young adult such as being out of sync and self-consciousness. These are the backdrops to Ruthie’s lyrics. The actual song stories are describing issues and articulating new ways of solving problems or portraying fun moments and expressing the value of these events. Each of Ruthie’s songs is a distinctive, framed vignette. As in example Ready Ready Ready, the dancers have the right to be who they are and to discover more of who they are. In Break Out, a funky party song, a cohesive, pro-active group targets those who are “in the lost and found” and uses clichés in new ways to clue others of how to break out of their ruts. In Groove to the Music, a blend of pop dance and rap, the collective nature of life is apparent in the opening call, “Hey Ya’ll! We’re a party of a hundred!” The ballad I Want to Sing for You discloses the golden moments when an artist realizes that to sing for others is “everything that is good and true.” At present, Ruthie is unwilling to be limited in topics for lyrics and the stylizing of her music. She writes in pop, funk, blues, rap, and dance genres because she says her generation of listener is not restricted in what types of music they listen to. “My desire is to write and record what people can relate to and listen to over and over. I constantly strive to improve my craft.” Therefore, her album will be a collection of tightly interwoven musical styles reflecting a typical young woman’s raw and unedited view of her world.
