Ruti is back with an enthralling new single, "Maybe I Got It Wrong," a song that shows perhaps vulnerability can be louder than anything else. Then it gets to the chorus: an uplift of energy that doesn't shatter the spell but reinforces it. Ruti leans into their vocal range here, not with show-offy power but with precision and soul. It's the sort of chorus that lodges in your chest and stays there.
Having shared the stage with Olivia Rodrigo and Last Dinner Party at BST Hyde Park comes a song from Ruti that feels intimate and as big as a movie. Bare bones from the get-go, the production allows the music to breathe; one can't help but lean in. A languidly slinking groove and percussive textures dance alluringly between her chorus's guitar lines, providing an ideal bedding for Ruti's inimitable vocal. Their voice, soft and haunting, full of feeling, wafts through the verses like a whispered confession.
Longtime followers will undoubtedly recognize the poetic honesty that has always distinguished Ruti. From Racing Cars to now, the emotional clarity in their music has been a constant. But "Maybe I Got It Wrong" takes on a new stride, more sophisticated, more reflective, and maybe more relatable than ever.
