Ruby Dice Documents Love and Heartbreak On Debut Album ‘Not In Love’

Published

on

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.

Rising Superstar AMBER Turns Everyday Moments Into Vivid Stories On Just a Daydream

Published

Songwriters often draw from personal experience, but what makes Just a Daydream stand out is the way AMBER reshapes those experiences through imagination. Instead of presenting events exactly as they happened, she builds scenes that feel colourful, expressive and full of possibility, giving the songs a distinctive identity from the very beginning.

That approach reflects the idea behind the EP’s title. What begins as a passing thought or a hopeful fantasy gradually develops into something more tangible, carrying listeners through romance, longing, disappointment and, ultimately, self-acceptance. The songs remain connected by that thread, making the EP feel like one continuous conversation rather than a collection of separate ideas.

Musically, AMBER blends soul, jazz, funk and pop touches without allowing any one influence to dominate. The lively pulse of “Say What” explores the confusion that can grow from crossed wires, while “Aromatherapy” offers a gentler close, bringing the emotional journey to a place of calm reflection.

Working with producer Kipper Eldridge, AMBER has created a debut that places storytelling at its heart. Every musical choice supports the atmosphere of the songs, allowing the lyrics and performances to take centre stage. Out now through Now Listen, Just a Daydream is more than a collection of well-made tracks. It is an invitation into a creative world where imagination gives everyday emotions a fresh perspective and where even the smallest moments have a story worth telling.
