“Ahead of the release of her new album, Ruth, on 24th February, emerging Bulgarian songstress Ruth Koleva is offering stunning album opener What Am I Suppose To as a free download. Koleva’s ability to straddle multiple genres and tempos has made her into a highly versatile artist, which has seen her draw comparisons her contemporary, Jessie Ware. This gift and the assuredness of her songwriting is set to launch her onto the international scene. As a vocalist, her tone is imbued with warmth and sincerity, particularly when speaking on matters of love and sensuality. Inspired by such era-defining artists as Erykah Badu and Jill Scott, Ruth manages to both tip her hat to the classics which have informed her sound, while still saying something new and pushing the boundaries with the creation of this unmistakably unique LP. Ruth promises to articulate Koleva’s individual expression of soul, whilst combining her silky vocals and jazz infused melodies with skilfully placed subtle synths.”
