Ruth Koleva / Future Sweet (EP)

Artist Name：Ruth Koleva
Label：Flat Line Collective
Product Code：SSRi-0037

Introducing the promising singer who won the youngest Jazz Award in Bulgaria! She is on the verge of a breakthrough with her innovative and progressive European modern soul!

Ruth Koleva is Bulgaria's premier diva. Her talent, astonishing for someone in her early twenties, is firmly rooted in her background. Her career began at the tender age of nine. In the 12 years since, she has collaborated with artists like Bobby McFerrin and performed for Stevie Wonder in L.A. At 16, she traveled to New York, where Joe Fletcher, a shrewd manager who had worked with Beyoncé and James Brown, took her under his wing and had her work with Mar=n Briley, a producer who had created hit songs for Elton John and others. This is a tale befitting a child prodigy. After returning to her home country, she gained experience, performing for 60,000 people as an opening act for Redman & Methodman and Kelly Rowland. She headlined a festival with Frank McComb and became the youngest recipient of a jazz award, cementing her status as a rising star among young singers. Her EP "Future Sweet" serves as a stepping stone to her new album. It's a well-crafted work that elevates pop into new soul and extracts rhythmic funk elements from R&B, showcasing innovative and progressive European modern soul to the fullest. "Nothing Else" (#2) strongly emphasizes funk, while "Heaven" (#5) incorporates dance music-like sounds while firmly maintaining a modern soul sound. From child prodigy to a mature, talented diva, this long-awaited EP has finally arrived in Japan, greatly building anticipation for her new album!
