Ruth B. - Situation (Official Video) + Moments In Between (Album Announcement)

25-year-old Ethiopian-Canadian singer and songwriter Ruth B. announces her new album Moments In Between, to be released June 11 via Downtown Records. Executive produced by Patrick Wimberly (Beyonce, Solange, Blood Orange, Ellie Goulding), the album features eleven new, original songs all written or co-written by Ruth. Following her gold-certified 2017 debut Safe Haven and multi-platinum hit single “Lost Boy,” Moments In Between is a raw emotional accounting of the anxieties and uncertainty Ruth faces as a woman in her mid-twenties, giving voice to her inner strife via warm vocals, shape-shifting textures, and hazy harmonies.

To accompany the announcement of Moments In Between, Ruth B. has unveiled a new single and video for standout track “Situation.” In the video, directed by Annie Bercy (Ciara, OSHUN), the cool remove from which Ruth sings “What’s the Situation?” is belied by private frustration and uncertainty as she tears pages from a diary, hangs on the phone, and jumps up and down on her bed. “‘Situation’ is maybe my favourite song I’ve ever written,” says Ruth, who wrote the track with Ido Zmishlany (Demi Lovato, Shawn Mendes). “It sounds so much like me, and where I am now versus a few years ago.”
