Paul Ruske (feat. Soweto Gospel Choir) - Washed In The River.
So this will hands-down be the most beautiful track you’re going to hear all day.
Those of you lucky enough to record an ad or two at Melbourne sound studio Final Sound will recognise that handsome fella above as Paul Ruske. He’s been busy in his down-time crafting his debut album which press releases everywhere will be describing as “echoing Neil Young, The Boss and Paul Simon”. However, don’t go expecting these singer-songwriter styles on the debut single, Washed In The River.
After conceiving a rough layout for the track, Ruske decided to approach The Soweto Gospel Choir. You know, just on the off chance the Grammy winners might like to lay down some vocals. Turns out they did. And a month ago, while the 30 member group were passing through Australia, half of them stopped by the studio to help create this soulful, gospel-inspired gem.
In case you were wondering, this is a huge deal. The SGC have only ever collaborated with Grammy Winners. For actual. In fact, Paul was telling me that the last artist they leant their vocals to was Bono. Yuh. That Bono.
Anyways, wrap your ears around the single, send it to everyone you’ve ever met, then head on over to the Ruske Music fan page and give our man a digital pat on the back.
