Ruby Grove: “Maybe It’s Time”

Tracks
Written By Michael Gutierrez

Bringing back the trip-hop! Ruby Grove catches that slinky, smooth, clubby fire in their latest single “Maybe It’s Time.” Steady percussion with a faint industrial flavor, a commanding bass line, and vocals that are a little bit 1920’s jazz dancehall and a little bit séance. It’s music for vamping in the mirror while getting dressed for a very late night out…

Stream, share, buy to your heart’s content.
