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.
