Ruthven Rough & Ready
Full Details
Ruthven's Debut Studio Album Rough & Ready on LP.
Since first appearing on Jai Paul & A.K. Paul’s label and collective Paul Institute in 2017, Ruthven has carefully mastered the soulful, infectious, R&B influenced sound he has masterfully displayed over six expansive singles. Drawing from both imaginative and autobiographical experiences, he presents his debut album, ‘Rough & Ready’. Led by ‘Thru The Walls’, the conversational love song which calls back to the sensual classics of Prince and D’Angelo, perfectly exemplifies Ruthven’s incredible musicianship and playful yet sincere lyricism.
The singer-songwriter and keyboardist Ruthven’s songs are an antidote for lazy, laid-back pop music - Pitchfork
Paul Institute, the record label/collective of influential electronic wizards Jai and A.K. Paul, has released a string of thoroughly enjoyable singles from different underground artists. Perhaps the most consistent of the bunch has been Ruthven, the London-based ex-firefighter who creates Prince-like jams with the contours and sleekness of sports cars. - The Fader
