Ruel hits straight to the heart with "Wild Guess"

Los Angeles-based, Australian-born singer-songwriter Ruel has once again proven his knack for weaving emotion into melody with his brand-new single, "Wild Guess." Serving as a glimpse into his upcoming sophomore album, "Kicking My Feet." "Wild Guess" takes a confident step outward.

Co-written with powerhouse producers Dan Wilson and Leroy Clampitt, Ruel describes this one as a favorite release that came together almost effortlessly. And that ease is palpable in the final product. "Wild Guess" feels light on its feet yet carries surprising depth, the kind of song that lets you nod along to the rhythm while realizing, on a second listen, there's something far more layered happening beneath the surface.

The production strikes a balance between warmth and clarity, allowing Ruel's vocals room to breathe while building a refreshingly unforced energy. It's a track that earns its momentum with sincerity. Ruel himself admits he hadn't written a song like this before, and that newness feels like the magic spark.

With "Wild Guess," Ruel sets the tone for what feels like a more adventurous, evolved era of his artistry. It's catchy without being shallow, thoughtful without dragging its feet. It's a song that hints his second album will carry both polish and purpose.
