The intrepid Talulah Ruby dives into greater, murkier waters on “The Deep”

After debuting her musical project last year, Talulah Ruby returns with her third track, “The Deep”. The Lanzarote-raised singer-songwriter expertly produces parity amidst such vast soundscapes, with powerful, elemental sounds and extra-terrestrial electronica.

“The Deep” is a metaphor about renewal and change, and Talulah Ruby herself not so long ago upped and left her home on the Canary Islands to pursue music in London. "I feel like this song carries so much spirit surrounding transformation and learning to adapt in a new environment,” she says.

The track is being released during a time of radical change in the world, as well as in Talulah Ruby's own personal life. “It feels completely surreal that it should come out when the world is questioning whats normal and who we are as individuals and communities,” she says. “The whole planet is questioning our existentialism and this song is exactly that. A search for truth and finally realising that everything moves in flow.”

Talulah Ruby wrote the track as a third-person narrative, without pen and paper, in her studio flat in East London in 2018. “I had pulled up a YouTube video of deep sea creatures, which went on to inspire my chain of thoughts. The sounds we created came quite naturally and the writing session in general was really high in energy. Originally we’d gone for a drum & bass outro as we were in that mood. But after playing it live and eventually coming back to the writing room a year later, it found a whole new lease of life and meaning."

She explains, "All my songs are part of the same universe. I guess you could say that I am seeking a sort of Utopia. This naturally comes from growing up on the island of Lanzarote, which has an incredibly rich history in terms of its relationship with using art to fuse nature and humanity."
