Displaying absorbing songwriting instincts and an intimate vocal delivery, Ruth recorded the EP in Brooklyn, NY, capping off a whirlwind year that saw her go from a complete unknown to one of 2015’s most authentic debut artists. The Intro arrives to close out the year as an enthralling prelude from a new singer/songwriter in full command of her gift. “For all my fans who know ‘Lost Boy,’ this EP shows even a deeper side of me,” says Ruth. “These songs have become my friends, in a way. Introducing them with this EP is kind of like saying ‘here’s what makes me ‘me.’”
