Cork’s Kevin Walsh continues to shine with his latest single “Ruby” which is a ballad to remember, inspired by the themes explored in his award-winning music video, weaving a tale of love, loss and longing. Featuring the delicate piano tones of Dylan Howe and strings by Maria Ryan, this song draws listeners into its nostalgic atmosphere, evoking emotions with every note.
The song’s heartfelt lyrics and gentle melodies are reminiscent of the works of classic artists like Tom Waits. Cork’s rich and emotive voice carries the song’s story perfectly and delivers a performance that’s impossible to forget. The production is masterful with every instrument complementing the vocals, creating a soundscape that is both tender and captivating. What struck me most about “Ruby” is its authenticity and Cork’s Kevin’s ability to make you feel every word he sings. I had it on repeat all morning and found myself lost in its haunting beauty. This is one of those songs that touches your soul and I can’t wait to see what Kevin brings us next. If you’re a fan of honest, moving music, this is a must-listen.
