The very personal single entitled “Ruby”, Walsh’s new single is rich with emotion and a moving piano ballad. This piece, part of a love, loss, and longing trilogy, progresses the theme begun in Walsh’s award-winning cover of Meat Loaf’s ‘Not a Dry Eye in the House’. It is a lovely emotional one; it looks ahead between Kevin Walsh and Vanessa Heard as the couple who are supposed to get married to each other.
Walsh’s vocal performance, which he developed under Rebecca Keogh’s training, is commendable. He is best known for his energetic rock hits but adopts a more sensitive approach in “Ruby”. The song contains a rich medium which is filled with expressive energy. Every note in this piece sounds authentic, which gives the listeners a free feeling filled with love and optimism. Tom Waits and Sarah McLachlan showcase Walsh’s storytelling in “Ruby”. It is not merely a recording but part of a broader context or situation. Walsh wants to make a musical film based on the plot idea, and this song is just one part of a much larger story, which he sees as being in its first chapter.
On November 13th, Cork hosted a release party and an exclusive performance. It was happened that, as Walsh put his heart on “Ruby”, people embraced the gentle yet powerful singing performance. Listen to “Ruby” on Bandcamp or any central platform, and do not forget to be impressed again by Kevin Walsh’s artistry.
