British-Australian singer/songwriter and pop prodigy Ruel announces his highly anticipated debut album 4th Wall to be released March 3rd via RCA Records. Through a journey that spanned over the last three years, Ruel’s long-awaited debut album explores his most personal and stellar musical offerings to date. Pre-order/pre-save HERE.
Today, Ruel releases his new single “MUST BE NICE” which was written and produced with longtime collaborator M-Phazes (Khalid, Noah Cyrus) along with TMS Production Team (Lewis Capaldi, Dua Lipa) and songwriter Sean Douglas (Lizzo, Thomas Rhett). The emotive, piano-driven ballad showcases Ruel’s stunning voice, which glides effortlessly from gritty tenor to airy falsetto. Listen HERE.
Speaking on the single, Ruel says, "’MUST BE NICE’ is the first time I’ve ever released a ballad as a single, and it would have to be one of my favourite tracks on the record. Lyrically it's such an easy song to grasp, essentially, it’s just about a break up. But I wanted to take a step back and try and give it a new perspective. All break ups are difficult in their own way, but when you see the other person getting on with their life, it hits so much harder. I feel like the lyric “fuck it must be nice” captures that perfectly."
