Ruben Dumars’ latest venture is a sugar-filled pop powerhouse stacked with grooving bass licks, shimmering synth lines, and catchy indie hitmaker melodies. The celebratory single juxtaposes the track’s true meaning, which Ruben elaborates on further.
“This song was written with two things in mind: my desire to get high on drugs, and to tell a cryptic story of my long-since broken-up ex-girlfriend hooking up (allegedly) with a famous band frontman from Australia. And honestly, I didn’t do much, if any of the instrumentation initially, I added and removed quite a bit after Clint Holgate (Co-Producer) and I recorded this and Andrew Tolman (Imagine Dragons) played drums on it. This was recorded a long time ago, I think back in 2018 or 2019, and I decided to release it now, because I was thinking when I leave this world, I want there to be a broad range of styles and genres in my catalogue.”
The Ohio-based artist-producer’s style is as varied as it is compelling, merging shoegaze, hip-hop, and psych-rock sounds culminating in a truly unique discography. With UK and US already clambering to support Ruben’s previous offerings, we think 2025 looks like a special year for Ruben Dumars.
