Ruby Francis Turns Another Page With Helicopter

Ruby Francis shares another song from her forthcoming EP, Pages of Philosophy, with the AM radio sounding "Helicopter." The singer-songwriter, DJ, and producer used her experience of falling in love to add life to the fuzzy frequencies in the production. It is the third single from the upcoming project right after "Pages of Philosophy" and "Back 2 Myself." She says,

"It's the most personal song of the project. There aren't many lyrics because it felt right to leave lots of space for interpretation. At the time I had met someone and fallen deeply in love. I was listening to a lot of wavy lo-fi productions from artists like Georgia Anne Muldrow, Mndsgn and KIEFER, which heavily influenced the overall sound and bounciness. I wrote and finished the entire song in a whole sitting — production and lyrics — when I really felt truly lovestruck. I rushed home, dying to get this idea out of me. There was a blank Logic project; I blinked and there was a finished song."

Francis released her debut album, Archives, in 2021. Pages Of Philosophy comes out this summer.

Ruby Francis' Pages Of Philosophy Precedes Spring EP

DJ, singer, songwriter, and producer Ruby Francis drops "Pages of Philosophy" before the release of her spring EP. Francis dips into some jazz chords with an almost demure style as she sings about falling in love. On her 2021 debut album, Archives, she introduced herself as a serious student of R&B and let her voice stretch out more. On "Pages of Philosophy," she sounds a lot like Syd and Rahsaan Brown's bass bubbles up, creating a plush book end to the arrangement. All of the components together have the warmth and crackly feel of old vinyl records being played. Francis shared her process in a statement,

“I programmed the drums and added chords inspired by warm sunset colours. "Pages of Philosophy" is all about those first moments of being fully infatuated and in love, where the outside world has disappeared, and you and your lover are wrapped in the cocoon you’ve created. Over the years, I’d fallen hard and deeply in love and really wanted to capture those early moments of vulnerability, intimacy, and stepping into the unknown.”

Stay tuned for Francis' spring EP.

UK R&B/soul singer Ruby Francis shares “Jasmine”, the first single from her upcoming album.

The track details a hypothetical scenario between Ruby and her secret love interest, Jasmine. Elaborating further, Ruby says, “‘Jasmine’ is a made-up name of a girl that I, as a character, have never met but have fallen in love with online and become obsessed with in secret, idolising and fantasising about life together in reality.”

Ruby’s velvety vocals and addictive melodies combined with the punchy electro-R&B instrumental make for a well-rounded track that most certainly whets the appetite for the rest of the project.

Ruby Francis - Rush

“Rush” is the latest track from Ruby Francis, a R&B number that’s got one foot in the past and the other in the present. Blurting out with the sharp acidic snarl of its raspy synths, Francis’ track is sharp and staccato with the G-funk of her latest track adjoined by her R&B smooth. Quick to channel the retro-futurism of Ruby Francis’ latest single, Miko Waye and Initial Talk both chip in to give their own remix offerings.
