Ruby Cannon Shares New EP ‘Ruby and the Cannons’

Published

This year has been incredibly welcoming for Ruby Cannon within the music industry. After playing Laneway Festival back in February alongside Phoebe Bridgers, HAIM, and many more, she has cemented herself in Melbourne’s surf rock scene.

When Ruby Cannon was seven years old, her father gave her the first guitar she had ever owned in the seaside hamlet of Phillip Island. Following her high school graduation, she enrolled at JMC Academy to pursue a Bachelor of Music degree. It was then that she first started penning songs that were influenced by her favorite bands, Fleetwood Mac, The Velvet Underground, and The Rolling Stones. She quickly discovered her sound amid the surfy, desert dream of the ‘70s that she lives in.

Ruby and the Cannons, is a four-track offering that was written during the COVID-19 pandemic, when Melbourne had the strictest lockdown laws. Three years ago, Ruby Cannon composed the tunes using an acoustic guitar. It was upon the formation of her band that these tunes entered their flourishing grounds.

The EP infuses genres of indie, surf-rock, desert, and 70’s sound with an energetic and happy vibe present upon each track. The production of the tunes features acoustic guitars, electric guitars, drums, synths, bass guitar, and Ruby Cannon’s captivating vocals.

On the song, Ruby Cannon says: “I’m so excited to be finally releasing music that really feels like me, these songs are the sound I’ve been trying to find for a long time.”

LLOREN captures the raw, transformative energy of chasing dreams in the heart of LA with new single!

After years of making cinematic music for film & TV, British pop singer and former “The Voice” finalist LLOREN is limbering up to release her dream pop debut album “It’s Always Sunny in LA” very soon.

But first she is dropping a huge new single “Last Star In LA”. In a similar brand of dreampop as Sweden’s LÉON, “Last Star in LA” is a love letter to the city that has shaped Lloren’s music career, from writing her best songs, meeting her favourite collaborators, to landing syncs (30+) in trailers, TV shows and ads (latest for Kay Jewelers). “Last Star in LA” captures the raw, transformative energy of chasing dreams in the heart of LA.

“The song is just a love letter to the city! I wanted it to sound like a love song, but if you listen closely, you can hear it’s got a double meaning”, says LLOREN. Produced by Daniel Pashman (Little Monarch, Gold Brother, Ellee Duke), the track brings all the cinematic feels and tugs on the heartstrings from the outset with its instantly memorable hook and big nostalgic stadium pop atmospheres.

The track follows a string of recent singles which have seen LLOREN featured by prestigious music tastemakers The Line Of Best Fit, gain airplay from BBC Radio 2’s Angela Griffin and Radio X’s John Kennedy, interviewed by Diva Magazine and Celebmix and the video for her track “Like This” won a Telly Award in the US, as well as also being nominated for a prestigious Leo Award in Canada.

Grey’s Anatomy, The L Word, 1923, Wish, The Company You Keep, Made In Chelsea, Love Island UK and Love Island USA are just some of the many sync credits LLOREN has amassed to date, which have steadily proved her rich, versatile vocal and powerful contemporary inspired compositions to be a cut above the rest. And in “Last Star In LA” we see this combination in its full glory, as LLOREN weaves her magical honey-like vocals around an 80’s style production backdrop, that feels spacious and contemplative yet kicks the listener heavily in the heart with a big dose of yearning emotions.

LLOREN was recently invited to join American artist Fleurie on her first European tour. During the tour, she also caught the eyes of promoters who invited her back to open for household names Johannes Oerding and Michael Patrick Kelly and an audience of 10000 people. In the UK, LLOREN is no stranger to the annual PRIDE celebrations having played both Manchester and London where she headlined the women’s stage and has entertained crowds over 10000. She has also toured with Canadian artist Mauvey with whom she collaborated with on the track ‘Pillow’, performing it at BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend as well as the Isle Of Wight Festival 2023.
