Ruthie conjures Fleetwood Mac on new single “The Tide”
Ruthie conjures all of the feels with her new single “The Tide.” The first track from her debut EP “Universal Heartbreak Now,” due November 22nd, “The Tide” is a bittersweet lo-fi pop number accented by Ruthie’s multi-layered vocals that bring the song to a crescendo in its Fleetwood Mac inspired chorus.
“‘The Tide’ is another banger about feeling terrible,” says Ruthie. “It’s about sitting in my room feeling lonely, like the sea had just spat me out onto a deserted beach. It’s definitely melodramatic and now I can’t remember ever feeling that way, but that’s the alchemy of songwriting: you can crystalize a feeling that becomes an object to look at rather than an overwhelming tidal wave. I also wanted to echo a very classic country music narrative of ‘Once I had everything, but now I’ve lost everything.’”
