Album Review: Ruth Koleva Proves Confidence. Truth Is Sexy
Ruth Koleva makes confidence and truth sexy. The word “sexy” can be used to objectify, but it also can be used to exalt the sensuality of virtue. The beauty of feeling like self-esteem can be worn, faith in yourself can be touched, and owning who you are as a person can be fitted unto your body. Ruth Koleva’s Confidence.Truth is R&B finessed into music fashion.
Every song on Koleva’s record feels like a statement piece; you put each one on as you ready to go out and prove you could turn any space into your domain. The key to Koleva’s sound is that it is scintillates; meant to tickle your definitions of fancy with lushly drawn instrumentals. If someone told me every synth and analog was made the same way cotton candy was, I would believe it: swirled in sugar until crystallized into cotton. Yet, you watch each swirled beat surround Ruth’s voice like she is its sugar in songs such as, “Run”, “Tokyo”, and “Basil”.
Ruth’s voice is naturally thoughtful, which helps you notice that most of her songs are about cleansing yourself from either past decisions, relationships, or behaviors. The theme radiates in songs like, “New Home”, “Oceans”, and “The Rain” as Ruth’s voice wipes away all the situations and feelings that have colored her perceptions like cotton washing away old nail polish. It is a quietly beautiful message that interconnects with her album title, Confidence. Truth, and her sexy soundscape. When you clean your heart and spirit, your body and image appears genuinely attractive, and that is a truth NO ONE can copy or fake.
Confidence.Truth is one of the top albums coming out this week because in a time where female empowerment is etching to conversational forefronts, but is still doused by extreme mentalities and treatments, we need music to express what we are doing and should do. Now, Ruth Koleva may not have purposely created a “feminist” album, but it is feminine in its discussions of self-love and deciding that your past choice in lovers and dreams can grow into future, better ones.
