Ruby Wood - Sincerely (EP)
Submotion Orchestra's Ruby Wood releases her debut EP ‘Sincerely’ out today (Friday September 1st) via First Word Records.
Sincerely is comprised of five tracks including the singles 'My Favourite Song' and 'Me And My Girl' that received support from Jamie Cullum on BBC Radio 2 and Craig Charles on Radio 6 Music, firmly based in the realms of hip hop soul and neo soul sonically, with an unashamedly ‘90s R&B vibe throughout. Throughout the EP, Ruby’s story tells tales of motherhood, relationships, commitment, independence and inspirations. Further collaborations on the set come from vocalist Isaac Malibu (on ‘Mr. Unavailable’), wind player Arran Kent (on ‘My Favourite Song’), and assistance on a couple of beats from acclaimed hip hop producer, Pitch 92 and San Diego’s Martel Howard, along with more Submotion alumni, Danny Templeman, Dom Howard and Bobby Beddoe and the debut performance from Ruby’s daughter, Amber!
