DIY or Top Production by Ruth A-D

 
Who is Ruth A-D you may ask, well she is not only a singer with a voice that melts you and makes your hairs stand on end with goose pimples. She is a songwriter of outstanding big productions with ghostly vocal layers and orchestras with a very NOW sound.
Ruth admits she has learnt her way in the music business, from inside out as she even produces her own material. These two singles are so far apart in sound and production but much the same in quality.
'War On Dreams' is an outstanding big epic of a number with her vocals on the Beverley Craven touching on Kate Bush in sound. The layering of her vocals are chilling and the track builds & fades, then builds again. The orchestral arrangement gives the track life, emotions and of course that epic sound I have already mentioned.  
On her website it mentions her strong DIY ethics, producing dark, cinematic pop and stripped-down piano vocal tracks. Well I can say hand on heart there is no DIY sound in this as it's mind blowing fantastic.

'Just Another Scratch' is very Kate Bush 'Sat In Your Lap' in style and sound. The drumming following her vocal layers is part I just love as well as the smooth shouting whisper that if you could feel would be like the richest silk.
