Our Take
Our Take
Ruston Kelly's latest offering, "Shape & Destroy," is a rollercoaster ride of emotions that will leave you reaching for the tissues one minute and tapping your feet the next. The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "In The Blue," a track that sets the tone for what's to come - a deep dive into Kelly's personal struggles and triumphs. His signature Americana sound is laced throughout the album, with twangy guitars and heartfelt lyrics that will resonate with listeners on a profound level.
Tracks like "Rubber" showcase Kelly's raw vulnerability, while "Under The Sun" brings a sense of hope and resilience to the forefront. Each song feels like a therapy session set to music, with Kelly baring his soul in a way that is both refreshing and cathartic.
But don't be fooled by the album's introspective nature - there are plenty of toe-tapping tunes to be found here as well. "Brave" and "Changes" are catchy and infectious, making it impossible not to sing along.
Overall, "Shape & Destroy" is a triumph for Ruston Kelly, showcasing his growth as a songwriter and his ability to connect with listeners on a deep emotional level. This is an album that begs to be listened to on repeat, with each play revealing new layers of beauty and introspection. Ruston Kelly has truly shaped and destroyed our hearts with this one.
