Ruby Bell by Paige Powell
ANNOUNCES SIGNING TO DYLAN BRADY’S DOG SHOW RECORDS
New York City-based Ruby Bell shares her new single “Love Song.” The electric and bouncing dance track is a beam of sonic joy layered with tender and soft lyrics dedicated to a lover. “Love Song” arrives with a dreamy and glitchy video directed by Sam Goldblooom. Alongside the new single, which was produced by Dylan Brady (100 gecs, Charli xcx, Rico Nasty), Ruby announces her signing to Brady’s label Dog Show Records. “Love Song” provides a taste to a larger project from Ruby arriving later this year.
Speaking about creating the new song, Ruby shares, “‘Love Song’ is about feeling in love but not knowing how to say it without saying what everyone else says in love songs. Dylan Brady and I wrote this song together with reference to my first time being in Los Angeles.”
Ruby Bell, the alias of Claire Montgomery, began her music journey as a child in Connecticut where she would tinker in GarageBand creating original songs and covers with her dad and sister. With a myriad of musical influences around her while growing up – Bruce Springsteen to Björk to Donna Summer to Young Thug – Ruby Bell’s gestation began. While studying counseling at Lesley University in Boston, her path toward the creation of Ruby Bell took a crucial turn. It was in Boston that she encountered a wider range of music, including the deeply influential PC Music oeuvre, and where she met two key figures in her musical coming-of-age, Happy Hardcore producers Replicator and Gupi.
Following a string of impromptu sessions with Gupi, the artist introduced her to 100 gecs’ Dylan Brady. The Ruby Bell sound—at once playful and soothing—caught Brady’s attention. Between school and working at a daycare, the young artist wrote whenever she could, with newfound inspiration, finding and honing her voice. “Love Song” is just the introduction to the Ruby Bell sound with much more to come on the horizon.
