Ruel - YOU AGAINST YOURSELF (Live Performance) | Vevo

Ruel - YOU AGAINST YOURSELF. An exclusive live performance for Vevo. Evolving from a teen heart throb into a serious young adult artist is no easy task, but Ruel is making it look easy. To be sure, the 20-year-old’s latest alt-pop confection “YOU AGAINST YOURSELF” isn’t that much of a departure from “Painkiller” and the rest of the bops on his 2019 'Free Time' debut. It’s more of a refinement. Hooks and glossy production remain central to the Aussie’s modus operandi, but the tempo responsible for slow grooves like “Face To Face” and “Real Thing” has been notched up quite a few BPMs. Fans noticed musical and physical growth in the “YOU AGAINST YOURSELF” video, too. Thematically, the clip illustrates all the different ways he’s tried to cheer on an acquaintance who’s “self-destructing.” In the end, he throws up his hands. Letting go is a healthy option. So too is shaking out your feelings, which is what he did in September through his special concert at Baby’s All Right. It was a pop up gig celebrating the three year anniversary of ‘Free Time.’ Like the tight stage at the famed Brooklyn nightclub, the dimensions of our NYC studio provided the towering singer just enough space for some physical catharsis, and gave his dedicated audience a glimpse of his even bigger ambitions. Ruel’s brand new album 4TH WALL is available everywhere now. https://ruel.lnk.to/4thwall  Subscribe to Ruel’s YouTube channel for more official content // https://smarturl.it/RuelYTsubscribe   Follow Ruel   / oneruel     / oneruel     / oneruel   Follow Vevo   / vevo     / vevo     / vevo     / vevo   Executive Producer: Micah Bickham Director: Jared Malik Royal Producer: Maddy Schmidt Director of Photography: Skyler Brown Editor: Andrew Ros Music & Talent: Annie Shapiro + Shannon Pires #Ruel #YouAgainstYourself #Vevo http://vevo.ly/DJjDKI
