Ruby Dice Documents Love and Heartbreak On Debut Album ‘Not In Love’
Ruby Dice is an American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who has been steadily gaining recognition for her electrifying, genre-defying sound that incorporates elements of soul, blues, and pop.
When the global pandemic of COVID-19 struck and traveling ceased, Ruby Dice, devoted herself entirely to her music. She was able to give writing her undivided attention attempting to express life via words and music. After a year and a half of composing, she was ready to create an album. Who better to produce Dice’s debut album, Not In Love, than Gordy Quist, who picked members of his own band (Band Of Heathens) as the backing band along with the songstress’ band members. The love story that the record opens with and ends in a breakup. The songs are about her personal life and her relationship with her guitarist, Calloway Ritch. “The storyline of this album is more about learning to love oneself through the process and how to love each other in difficult times than it is about learning to love others.”
The soulful rock n’ roll debut album from Ruby Dice is a reflection of love and heartbreak as well as the experiences and lessons that come with it over the 10 tracks. The storyline details a decade-long journey through the songstress’ life. Highlighting the ups and downs of a full-time musician. Love and chaos. Mixing catchy melodies with grooves that will make any listener want to dance. She welcomes this full-length enthusiastically as she further demonstrates her natural abilities and professional development in the music business. “This record is a journey of self-discovery through love and chaos,” she comments on the album.

ABOUT RUBY DICE
Ruby Dice is a Colorado native who currently resides in Texas and has been performing music for as long as she can remember. At the age of 22, she relocated to Texas to pursue a career in music after beginning her musical career in her family’s church band. She has accumulated musical experience over the years by playing bass in a variety of bands, developing as a songwriter, and winning the respect she merits for her musical abilities. She started performing all over the country at this time, sharing stages with artists like Brian Wilson, Dale Watson, and many others.
After the global COVID-19 pandemic hit, Ruby Dice began to concentrate on her musical career. She started writing the songs for her debut album, Not In Love, which is scheduled to be released on September 29, 2023, while working with musicians like Gordy Quist from the Band of Heathens. Writing deeply personal songs about the ups and downs of her relationship with her guitarist and former fiancé Calloway Ritch, it’s an exploration of love and heartbreak all wrapped up into one album.
Dmillyyy kicked off the month of love with the lead single, “Balance.” “Balance” was Dmillyyy’s first song of the year. The record served as a teaser for his new EP, Cupid Pack, which was released on Valentine’s Day. Cupid Pack is a five-track EP that dives into the intricacies of love. The EP is an eclectic body of work as it utilizes various genres of music, such as Alternative R&B, Melodic Rap, and Reggaeton.
Cupid Pack starts off with the song, “Thunderstruck.” The track is a record that features a wavy beat and Dmillyyy’s smooth flow. The sound is reminiscent of Jaden. The next track, “Balance,” is a fan favorite and for good reason. “Balance” has a bouncy beat that makes listeners want to groove. The record has a Drake feel to it. The catchy hook reels you in immediately. Dmillyyy cleverly sprinkles in some Spanish lyrics, which are a prelude to the third track on the EP. “Q.M. Interludio” follows “Balance.” The Latin Music interlude showcases the versatility that Dmillyyy possesses. The penultimate track, “WYGD,” is a downtempo, love song that is enchanting. The tune has a sample that blends well with the theme of the song. “WYGD” sets up the EP’s closer as “Madness” is another slow jam. “Madness” is the perfect finale. The sensual track embodies passion and love.
The EP’s introspective/extrospective take on love provides all listeners with songs that resonate with them. Although each song has its own flavor and unique sound, they still connect and carry a cohesive message. “Cupid Pack is an image painted to describe different emotions that may arise for particular love interests.” Dmillyyy continues: “Sometimes it isn’t that serious and just the feeling that you want to cherish. Sometimes the other’s existence makes you want to question everything and reflect back on your own life. Either way, both parties are living in the moment and letting that lead the way.” Cupid Pack is only the beginning as Dmillyyy has much in store for the year. While waiting for his next masterpiece, be sure to show love to the immaculate EP that is Cupid Pack.
