Ruth Koleva was born into the hardship of post-communist Eastern Europe, but quickly developed into a full-fledged artist. The Bulgarian singer’s debut album, RUTH., scooped the top prize at the BG Radio Awards in 2014, with ace producer Mark Ronson calling it “amazing”. Expect more subtle but powerful future soul and nu jazz on her latest album Confidence. Truth, a touching set of songs with a contemporary twist, produced by Crooked Waters' Kan Wakan and bolstered by a tight band including Ron Avant (Anderson .Paak) and Jameel Bruner (formerly The Internet).
