Ruel Real Thing

Ruel is back with 'Real Thing', yet another sampling off his forthcoming sophomore ep, Free Time, due for release on September 13 (RCA Records/Sony Music Entertainment Australia). The new track, produced by long-time collaborator, GRAMMY® Award-winning M-Phazes, follows the EP's lead single, 'Face To Face' (watch the Grey Ghost-directed video) released earlier this month and earning acclaim from PAPER Magazine who praised the song for "capturing the anxieties in teen and Millennial hearts alike," proclaiming that the 16 year-old Australian artist is "poised to melt hearts everywhere."

His upcoming FREE TIME EP follows the release of his critically acclaimed debut READY EP, which earned him Multi-Platinum and Gold status with singles "Dazed & Confused" and "Younger," leading to Ruel becoming the youngest recipient in history to win the prestigious ARIA Award for Breakthrough Artist Of The Year. 'Real Thing' and 'Face To Face' follow Ruel 's equally impressive track 'Painkiller', which dropped earlier this year, also taken from his highly anticipated forthcoming FREE TIME EP.

Inspired by Amy Winehouse, Stevie Wonder, Dave Brubeck, Frank Ocean and James Blake, Ruel first began playing guitar and writing his own material at the age of 8. Fast-forward to present day, in just under 18-months since his 2017 debut single 'Don't Tell Me,' the teenage musical prodigy has received co-signs from the likes of Shawn Mendes, Khalid, SG Lewis, Zane Lowe and Elton John, has become the youngest male to TWICE sell out the iconic Sydney Opera House, has sold out headlining shows across Australia, North America, Asia and Europe, and has since amassed more than 300 million combined global streams to date.

Ruel will head out on his most ambitious tour to date later this month. Tour dates below. 'Real Thing' is out everywhere now.
