Ruiz!-The Human Touch
Ruiz! is more than a one-man band. He creates songs with a soul and embodiment like no other, especially understanding the composition. As he floats through genres like a butterfly, he likes to bring something new every time to what he is making. Here is his melodic lament, crafted to perfection. This is his latest single, The Human Touch. There is a lot to unpack here, as a song. Not only does Ruiz! bring something unique to the table in terms of sound, but it is in each parcel of it. His vocals shift from his chest voice to a falsetto with the flick of a switch. As the rhythm teaches, he learns, alternating his percussions to this delicious off time fill before coming back as the spine. His instrumentals tread light, letting the vocals shine but taking the reins every once in a while. The effort he puts into production sees the picture as a whole, with someone who understands and feels this message. It has a duality, the human touch with music, and related to the clusterfuck that was Covid. I would have really enjoyed seeing this song featured in Her, or the Netflix series Black Mirror. As the malady of the lost human touch is talked about, I see us straying deeper into the cold metal claws of technology, forgetting our primal instincts and feelings. You can see Ruiz! and his brilliant work in songs like One Rule and Falling. This single belongs right up there, and it is in effect to affect. Enjoy his brilliant songwriting and crafting with his catalogue!

Ruiz!-Stupid Old Git
You can hear Ruiz! from a mile away. There’s good reason for that, you’ll see him set up his multi-instrumental rig and have the time of his life performing on it. With popular songs like Love is Blind bringing him indie musician fame, all playlists love him for his delightful cocktails. He outdoes himself with his latest fun single, Stupid Old Git. Though this is an insult I haven’t used before, the psychedelic tones will ensure that you pay attention to the instrumentals and not just the lyrics. I feel like the song has a culmination of many different textures Ruiz! puts together, with different tools, he might have not used before. You’ll hear the synth to be the most distinct, a sound bite of classic rock that he has utilised to his advantage on this song. What’s surprising is that you can hear the bass line pretty distinctly, understood because it is his primary instrument. It makes for some delightful transitions and styles, while still solidifying his position as a jack of all trades. The lyrics come as a punchline in the chorus, which is honestly what I was waiting for and expecting. Ruiz! makes indie music look like the promised land. He’s making all this talent look way too easy. I would imagine this to go very well in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) for the kind of scene transitions Ritchie uses. You can listen to Ruiz’s song above and follow him for more music that tantalises your tastes!
