Ruby Duff tackles life's big let downs on "Party"

06 August 2021, 09:30 | Written by Malvika Padin

Leeds based alt-pop artist Ruby Duff today drops her sugary pop track “Party,” focusing on the aftermath of partying a bit too hard.

The playful track shines a spotlight on the versatility of Duff’s vocals that shift seamlessly from syrupy to sultry, the energy swinging between childish delight and adult world weariness.

The relatable message of the production is offset by the fantastical elements brought alive by the visuals, reflective what Duff describes as “the vast extremities” that lay between the highs and lows in life. Pushing the confines of pop music in an experimental fusion of soundscapes, Duff has built a global fanbase for her ability to bring stories alive through her craft - often with her fluid song writing process led by melodies that take root in her mind as dreams.

Paired with an Alice in Wonderland inspired music video, directed by Alma Rosaz, the track reflects Duff’s signature style of drawing inspiration from her own life. “Ever partied too hard? Yup me too" states Duff.

"‘Party’ is about the anticipation of a single moment in life to then the great downfall. Working with Alma Rosaz on our video helped me to portray the vast extremities of exactly this yet in a playful way - just as the track does! But also who wouldn’t like puppies, glitter hot dogs and snow globe martinis right?”

Balancing a quirky youthfulness with a talent for penning thoughtful lyrics, Duff’s music can be best described in her own words as “A picture that we are all part of. A story we can all tell. A lullaby we can all hum,” and “Party,” with its delicate yet bold soundscape is the perfect representation of this one-of-a-kind artistry that Duff has quietly developed over her career.
