Ruby Sue shows us deep inside our current lost youth generation on brilliant 12-track debut album The Need

Ruby Sue is a Minneapolis, Minnesota indie alt-rock singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who started making music when she was just 6 years old.

During my gap year between high school and college last year, I was feeling lost and trying to find myself; I found music. I’ve always been a musician, but music was the only thing that felt right when everything else felt off. The lyrics and melodies rushed out of me like a burst dam. The Need tells a true story of needing to be seen, heard and experience life. Growing up isn’t easy; it can feel daunting and lonely; the ultimate message is that if you feel the need to be seen, you are not alone.” ~ Ruby Sue

With a perfect pitch while guiding us inside the minds of millions, this talented freshman who studies at Arizona State University has made something rather excellent when we needed a new hero to believe in. Demonstrating variety in droves and an ever-growing skill set that is only evolving, Ruby Sue displays her fiercely independent attitude that is so ravishing on our previously sleepy ears.

On particular highlights such as ROCK STAR, The Need, and HEAR ME, Ruby Sue thrills and excites with her vocally authentic style, totally honest lyrics, and leads us into her world that finds a mesmerizing young woman on a mission to find herself rather quickly. Laced with a classic feel that is always herself, as she opens up the door to let the world in.

The Need from Minneapolis, Minnesota indie alt-rock artist and multi-skilled creative wizard Ruby Sue is a speaker-booming 12-track release from an artist who has poured her heart inside this wonderfully exuberant effort. Booming with potential and oozing with quality, this is a proper full album to treasure. Remember the name Ruby Sue and turn this one loud when you feel a bit lost next time.
