New music from Ruiz!

Ruiz! is a musician with an exciting sonic journey that spans many years. When he came to the city of Sheffield as a student, be started out as the bass player in a band called The Only Fruit, playing with the outfit for two years while performing live gigs and recording demos.

A few years later he joined the band A.F.I.D and played live all over the UK including a BBC Session and Sheffield Sound City. Going on to be part of a string of successful acts, Ruiz! continued to venture on his musical adventure that would see him rack up a plethora of accolades and achievements along the way such as having a single of the week in the Guardian, releasing an album to critical acclaim and extensively touring the UK and even Spain.

More recently he’s set out as a solo artist under the Ruiz! alias where he writes, records, plays and sings everything in his home studio in Sheffield. In 2020 he unveiled his new endeavour with the single “Morning” and has since shared several well-received singles as well as his first full-length record as a solo artist with 2021’s album Mind Games.

Now he brings us his latest release with his brand new single titled “The Human Touch”, written whilst he was in bed recovering from long covid earlier in 2022. Themed on the loss of love and respect we have for each other in this divisive age where people seek obstacles and barriers instead of peace and harmony, with his new single Ruiz! hopes to instil a message of hope and kindness and encourages us to strive for a better world as we emerge from the standstill of the pandemic.

Laying down his trademark indie rock sound, with “The Human Touch” Ruiz! delivers a moving and memorable song that contrasts bright guitar tones against his reflective lyricism. With another showcase of his musicianship prowess and songwriting talent, “The Human Touch” sees the exciting artist close another successful year as he continues to offer compelling new music.
