Ruby Bell by Isa Castro-Cota
New York City-based Ruby Bell shares her new single “We were at the club.” Produced by Dylan Brady, the new song from Ruby is a shimmering ode to a night out and letting loose with a lover and friends.
Arriving alongside the new single, Ruby shares the Isa Castro-Cota-directed video glossed with pink and glittery overlays of Ruby strolling the beach, winning big at the casino and dancing at a popping party. “We were at the club,” along with Ruby’s debut single “Love song,” provide a taste to a larger project from Ruby coming very soon via Dog Show Records.
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. Ruby Bell’s reign has only just begun.
