Swedish band Ruby Empress immediately caught our eye with their striking cover art. When seeing their imagery, we were expecting an artist a long the lines of iamamiwhoami or Grimes, but that’s actually not the case at all. Listening to all their previous material, shows how versatile Ruby Empress is. They seem to be able to touch any genre or mood and turn it into their own unique sound. Ruby Empress is in a total league of their own.

On new track ‘Live Thru U‘, the band knows how to surprise us once again. What starts as a mellow song quickly changes when singer Axel Agervi starts belting the chorus and turning it into a beautiful power ballad. To top it of, the song ends with a brilliant guitar solo!

Listen to ‘Live Thru U‘ now and check out the beautiful video below:
