NUHA RUBY RA MY VOICE

'My Voice' is the wildly explorative new single by experimental artist Nuha Ruby Ra. Having captured our imaginations with her unbounded EP How To Move in 2021, we were more than a little excited to lift the lid on her newest offering. Surpassing our, admittedly high, expectations, 'My Voice' is an avant-garde anthem. Centred around a hypnotic guitar riff, doused in pedal-induced dirt, Nuha's eerie vocals play out like a maddening inner monologue. She elaborates: “'My Voice' is post How To Move, Pre everything else I’ll do, I’m in the waiting room. I’m exploring what I can do. I play all the instruments and build surreal sonic architecture that’ll make you move differently. There’s a rave in the bat cave. Don’t be fooled by the beginning, the middle or the end.” Arriving alongside an equal parts arty and unsettling video, directed by talented long-term friend and collaborator Katya Ganfield, the colourful Kubrickian imagery compliments the maddening track perfectly.
