ABOUT ME.
ALT POP . DRUMS | SYNTH | GUITAR | PIANO
Inspired by Nao, MØ, Half Noise, Childish Gambino, Lizzo, Billie Elish, Post malone, Tyler the Creator, Tame Impala and many more. I have taken everything I learned whilst growing up listening and playing in rock bands and started writing pop songs. I’ve combined my love for Synths, drums, piano, guitar bass and vocals, blending them together to create what I consider a unique sound.
It been so much fun to create this character and these songs and I hope you love it as much as I do. X♥X
FEATURES AND REVIEWS.
Clout - 10th june 21
“An alt-pop awakening that oozes originality, “Careful Now”… you may end up sticking this track on repeat and never turning it off – that doesn’t sound bad though, right?
The perfect taste and introduction into the musical project of Single Ruin, ‘Careful Now’ is spine-tinglingly golden.” https://cloutcloutclout.com/new-music/premieres/single-ruin-careful-now/
Earmilk - 11th june 21
“This would be the perfect hype song for anyone who needs an adrenaline boost as it simmers on an explosion without ever hitting that high. Clawing into a hefty bass line, "Careful Now" maintains its intensity throughout, promising to stay to at a level without overspilling its dynamism into something hectic. A beautiful mess, if you like.” https://earmilk.com/2021/06/11/single-ruin-shares-the-brooding-new-single-careful-now/
Music crowns
”Brighton based producer and songwriter Single Ruin has released his fourth single to date, offering a unique sonic atmosphere through the edgy alt-pop track ‘Careful Now’. His soaring, smooth vocals are at odds with the smoldering synths and glitchy samples of the production, echoing the tormented sentiment that the lyrics convey. The release demonstrates the unbounded creativity and emotion that Single Ruins pours into his music.” https://www.musiccrowns.org/new-music/single-ruin-releases-edgy-new-alt-pop-single-careful-now/
THE UNSIGNED GUIDE - SEPTEMBER 2019 EDITION OF THEIR BLOG.
“Out' is our first taste of this new venture and its sweet synth-driven pop drew us in immediately. There's nothing like a pounding drum beat to get the toes tapping, and on top of this sits a melody that could get even the most luckless curmudgeon (me) humming along.”

quoted as a “really unusual slice of pop” agreeing with a listener who tweeted in that it sounded like N.E.R.D which is an insane complement!
