RuthAnne has revealed that the new Christmas single she is working on with Irish Women In Harmony could be an original. RuthAnne appeared on the Big Breakfast on Dublin radio station, 98FM to discuss her new single Remember This, and she was asked about the new track.
RuthAnne revealed that the song is ready to go and involves an eighteen people tween choir, full of young Irish talent that participated in the nationwide talent search. She commented in the interview saying the aim of IWIH is “to bring some positivity to Christmas in Ireland this year.”
When asked what the song would be, RuthAnne turned the question back on presenters Rebecca and Brendan and asked what they thought the song would be. While everyone had assumed the artists would be covering a classic Christmas song, they began to doubt themselves. Rebecca said she thought an original Christmas song would be exactly what everyone needs, RuthAnne replied saying; “I’m not gonna say much more but you’ll all be very nicely surprised when it comes out.”
RuthAnne’s newest song Remember This came out on the 23rd of October. She had written the song a year and a half ago but never did anything with it, she then rediscovered the song during lockdown. She said she cried when she heard it because of how much it summed up this year so she decided to reproduce it and release it. She also said; “It felt like the right fit to start the next chapter of my music with.” A new chapter that will show a woman who knows what she wants, she has assured fans that this will be an empowering album.
RuthAnne is a singer-songwriter, who has created hugely famous songs like Jo Jo’s Too Little Too Late, Niall Horan’s hit Slow Hands and Work Bitch performed by Britney Spears. RuthAnne is also a Grammy-nominated for her work on John Legend’s album A Legendary Christmas. In March 2018, RuthAnne released her debut single The Vow, which was featured in shows like Love Island and Grey’s Anatomy.
The group, Irish Women In Harmony joined together this summer to release a cover of The Cranberries’ hit Dreams to raise money for SAFE Ireland. They raised €250,000 for the charity and remained in the Irish charts for over two months. The group, who was set up by RuthAnne was also set up to highlight the inequality in the Irish music industry.
A date still hasn’t been announced for the track from the Irish Women in Harmony, but you can check out Remember This below.
