Fresh off the release of her 2025 debut album, Maybe I Got It Wrong, and with her second new single of the year, Ruti is once again showing why she won Series 7 of The Voice UK. Where she channeled the early-2000s swagger of Kaiser Chiefs on this year's "I'LL BE YOUR FRIEND," "FLOWERS" finds her leaning into the shimmering, soulful sound of the London Soho club scene of the 1960s.
"I don't care/Just take me where there's flowers, flowers/I got something we could share/And if you dare it's ours, it's ours," Ruti sings over an infectious groove propelled by sweeping strings, acoustic guitar, and crisp, jazz-inflected drums. Miley Cyrus might buy herself flowers but Ruti demands them, daring a would-be lover to meet her where she's at as she kicks off a dance that's hard to leave.
Ruti possesses a remarkable voice, but "FLOWERS" also highlights just how strong a songwriter she is. That combination has already earned her tour slots alongside Alanis Morissette, Hemlocke Springs, and Teddy Swims. Add in the pace at which she's releasing compelling new music, and Ruti is quickly establishing herself as one of the UK's most exciting emerging artists. She's unquestionably one to watch. Don’t miss out.
