The blossoming, multifaceted performer Ruti (they/them) presents their new song “Monster” – and despite its title, it sounds warm and sincere. Rich, textured elements full of quiet emotional strength bring vibrancy to the lyrical storytelling.

Ruti weaves together the influences that have shaped their artistry over the years, spanning electronic music, lo-fi, folk, and light pop. It’s a masterclass in eclecticism that, despite its diversity, feels wholly cohesive.
