Ruby Francis is a London-based artist, DJ, and producer who attracts inspiration from the timeless sound of neo-soul, r&b, and jazz music from the late 90s and early 2000s. Immersed in a vibrant musical upbringing, Ruby drew early inspiration from icons like Stevie Surprise, Björk, Chaka Khan, and The Neptunes. She started enjoying piano at age 10 and was producing music by her early teenagers, rapidly forging a daring, genre-defying sound.
A singer with a particular voice, Ruby manages to bottle the essence of chill, whereas leaving sufficient room for her self-produced instrumental to actually shine. A track that does not essentially give attention to lyrics, her new single “Helicopter” explores themes of intimacy and appreciation.
Ruby shares, “On the time, I had met somebody and fallen deeply in love. I used to be listening to a number of wavy lofi productions from artists and inspirations like Georgia Anne Muldrow, Mndsgn, and Keifer on the time which closely influenced the general sound and bounciness.”
Listening to “Helicopter” makes me really feel gentle, and whereas momentary, that feeling of affection she’s speaking about might be felt deeply ingrained within the composition, making it an eternal reminiscence. It feels distinctive as a result of it captures a sense in a particular second, and it isn’t a track that she considered and re-modeled many instances. She elaborates, “I blinked and there was a completed track.“
An artist price your consideration.
