NUHA RUBY RA SELF PORTRAITURE

The wonderfully enigmatic Nuha Ruby Ra is sharing news of a new EP with her feral new belter 'Self Portraiture'. Balancing wildly experimental instrumentation with satisfying vocal hooks and a naughty bass groove, sirens wail atop of lurking backing vocals and jagged, Andy Gill-esque guitar work. The highly conceptual piece captures Nuha's ethos perfectly, demonstrating a level of idiosyncrasy that is both rare and a thing to be treasured. She explains: "Self Portraiture is a raw portrait of myself right now, think of it like a painting. I think the song is lyrically revealing, to give anymore away would be to limit the imagination of the receiver. Don’t be fooled by the beginning, the middle, or the end." Nuha Ruby Ra's second EP Machine Like Me will arrive on the 3rd of March. Check out the self-created video here now. -Holly Mullineaux
