Details:
Rubyâs new record reflects her live sound. âUnlike âVelvet Glove,â there are no big arrangements: itâs simply one voice, one guitar, throughoutâ. While the stripped back approach is popular with contemporary artists such as Jack Johnson, this project started out by looking back to the era of Karen Carpenter.

âIâm often told I sound like her,â says Ruby, âso I took my inspiration from classic jazz and bossanova songs, such as Burt Bacharach and Antonio Carlos Jobim.â The finished album, âForbidden Fruitâ skilfully interleaves original tracks with covers such as âClose To Youâ and âIâll never Fall In Love Againâ.

Sit back and melt in the warmth of Rubyâs voice, marvel at Rubyâs clever way with words in âSoundtrack to My lifeâ written about Karen Carpenter, or shiver at the simmering sensuality of the headline original track âForbidden Fruit,influenced by Franceâs leading lady,Carla Bruni.
