Ruu Campbell Announces Stunning Solo Debut Album 'Heartsong' Out August 25th 2014

Former Leftfield Vocalist Releases Stunning Solo Debut Album

For Fans Of: Nick Drake, John Martyn, Tim Buckley, Bon Iver, Nick Mulvey

One day, back when Ruu Campbell was still a reluctant city dweller, his house got robbed. For many, it would have been a moment of physical and emotional trauma. But for Ruu, in the wider scheme of things, all was well. They didn't steal his guitars.

Such is the unswerving spirit of this captivating English singer-songwriter that as long as he can keep his music and the people he loves close to him, that's all he needs. Especially since that break-in was one of the catalysts for Campbell and his family to leave the city for the pastoral inspiration of the west country. The result is the album 'Heartsong,' and it's guaranteed to be one of this year's most delightful acoustic pleasures.

Respected for a varied background that includes his vocal collaborations with Leftfield, a major label adventure and writing and performing with the electronic band Younger Brother, Campbell has reinhabited his acoustic roots to make the album that's always been inside him.

Infused with his natural warmth and spirit, and with its gorgeously deft use of guitars, flute, cellos and violins, 'Heartsong' is a record that will be loved by any devotee of the bucolic charms of Nick Drake and John Martyn, but with Campbell's stamp gently embossed on every elegantly-crafted track

No fewer than three songs on the album - 'The Call,' 'Crossroads' and 'Mathereal' - have been featured in the high-profile small-screen setting of NBC's smash hit series 'Parenthood,' while others have been employed for shows on MTV and ABC. The recently-completed movie 'Barking At Trees,' starring leading British actors Jessica Hynes, Tom Payne and Tommy Flanagan, also features 'The Call.'
