Sincerely: Remixed - EP (3 Track Sampler)

First Word Records are proud to bring you 'Sincerely: Remixed' by Ruby Wood.

Following on from the 2023 release of Ruby's debut solo EP 'Sincerely', we bring you a set of varied remixes of tracks from the EP from Quiet Dawn, Werkha, Vice Beats, TURNA, Frenchboe & MGM The Grand.

Ruby is a vocalist & songwriter hailing from Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. Her soulful yet distinctive voice has enabled her to front numerous projects; perhaps best known as lead vocalist of the critically acclaimed Submotion Orchestra, since 2009.

She recently accompanied r&b legend Bryson Tiller on stage at his huge sell-out shows in the UK, including Wembley Arena & Manchester Apollo. Ruby has also been performing shows with Nightmares on Wax & Abstract Orchestra, as well as solo performances at Cross The Tracks festival in Brixton. In the past she's toured with Bonobo's live band & Nubiyan Twist, along with features and collaborations with the likes of Krept & Konan, Alfa Mist, GLXY and Roska, to name a few.

The original EP was produced with the assistance of fellow Submotion member, Chris 'Fatty' Hargreaves (Pengshui, Outlook Orchestra, Richard Spaven Trio), building upon Ruby's initial compositions. The EP received love from the likes of Jamie Cullum (BBC Radio 2), Craig Charles & Huey Morgan (BBC 6 Music), Tony Minvielle (Jazz FM), Ronnie Herel (Mi-Soul Radio's 'One to Watch') & Wordplay magazine.

The remixes cover a wide-range of genres, reflecting Ruby's diverse tastes as a DJ in her own right. There's a killer amapiano mix from South Africa's Frenchboe & MGM The Grand, sumptuous hip hop soul from Bristol's Vice Beats, bumping Kaytranada-esque beats from Manchester's TURNA, as well as broken-breaks vibes from fellow Mancunian Werkha, and samba-tinged dancery from Quiet Dawn out of Paris - the last two both being First Word family.

'Sincerely: Remixed' will be released digitally worldwide on June 21st 2024.
