RuthAnne’s forthcoming second studio album, ‘The Moment’, due 10th October, is her most personal and powerful project to date. Known for penning global hits like Jojo’s “Too Little Too Late”, Niall Horan’s “Nice To Meet Ya”, and her own viral anthem “The Vow’, the GRAMMY and BRIT-nominated Irish singer-songwriter has spent the last two decades shaping modern pop from behind the scenes – with over 12 billion streams across her songwriting catalogue, and over 200 million for her own artist releases. But now, the mother of two is inviting listeners into a body of work that reflects the emotional depth, lived experience and raw honesty that defines her voice.
Drawing inspiration from great storytellers like Carole King, Fleetwood Mac, James Taylor, and Alicia Keys, The Moment is RuthAnne’s love letter to classic songwriting – a reminder that vulnerability and craft are timeless. “This album is really a collection of all the moments we all grow through in life – from love to loss, womanhood to motherhood and everything in between,” RuthAnne shares. “It’s really about the human-ness in us all: the celebrations, declarations, the failures, the lessons, the joys and the pain.This body of work is really rooted in authenticity- every vocal, every lyric, every sound.”
Alongside the release of her album, “The Moment”, RuthAnne is releasing ‘It’s Not Just A Song’ – a must-have guide to writing hit songs.
RuthAnne offers a behind-the-scenes look at the songwriting world, exploring the psychology of the writing room, relationship-building, production, royalties, deal-making, and how to stay creatively inspired. Drawing from her own experience navigating the traditional music industry “Boys’ Club,” she equips young female artists, in particular, with practical tools and warnings to help them avoid common pitfalls early in their careers.
Featuring high-profile interviews with GRAMMY-winner Amy Wadge, Julian Bunetta, Emily Warren, and Dan Wilson, the book uncovers the stories behind hits like Adele’s Someone Like You, Ed Sheeran’s Thinking Out Loud, and Harry Styles’ As It Was a must-read guide that seasoned hitmakers wish they’d had.
