Bulgarian Singer-Songwriter Ruth Koleva Releases Sophomore Album 'Confidence. Truth' Today
Today, Bulgarian singer-songwriter Ruth Koleva releases her much-anticipated sophomore album Confidence. Truth. The ten-track collection is a deeply personal collection of songs rooted in soul and jazz that effortlessly shifts from melancholic studio confessions to epic, euphoric anthems. Koleva previously shared album singles "I Don't Know Why" and "Didn't I", both of which were met with a wide array of internet buzz upon release.
The album features Ron Avant (Anderson .Paak) on keys, Jameel Bruuner (The Internet) on synths, and Gene Coye (Flying Lotus) on drums as well as the work of the Sofia Philharmonic Orchestra and was produced by Gueorgiu Linev (Kan Wakan). Born into the hardship of post-communist Eastern Europe, Koleva quickly developed into a rounded artist. After multiple excursions into the local Bulgarian music scene and a stint at the Hollywood Pop Academy, she released her debut album and scooped the top prize at the BG Radio Awards in 2014. In the time since, she has shared the stage with ten-time Grammy Award winning jazz vocalist Bobby McFerrin and performed two sold-out concerts at Bulgaria Hall with the Sofia Philharmonic Orchestra.
Confidence. Truth mirrors the restless spirit and growth of Kovela herself as she flirts with the past, confronts her demons, and finds joy in rediscovering herself.
