Spread the knowledge

The world is loud and chaotic on a day to day basis, and that can make someone incredibly overwhelmed. What people really need in times like this is to take a step back and just breathe in the cool air of a new day. That feeling is what you get when you listen to Ruby Greenberg’s new EP, The Light Behind being released on September 25, 2026.

Ruby is a singer, songwriter, and musician who uses her lyricism and calming vocals to connect with her audience. After years of covering songwriters such Joni Mitchell, Carole King, and Christine McVie, she has grown into her own voice by writing original music that combines a modern folk style with the nostalgic acoustic sounds that inspired her.

Sometimes the strongest bonds are those between old friends. “Carry On” shows how strong those bonds can be. There is something powerful about the trust that can be heard in every note. The song feels like seeing someone you haven’t seen in a long time, but talking as if nothing has changed. Ruby’s soothing vocals make this message even sweeter, with her voice perfectly fitting with the tune.

Soft, sweet songs to listen to on a bad day seem to be Ruby’s speciality. “Across The Sky” is full of beautiful vocals and simple guitar. The acoustic beat is easy and constant, creating a strength behind it all. The harmonies in the chorus are sweet, and the piano is light enough to not overpower anything else while also not being strong enough to not be ignored.

Listen To “Pictures Of Us” Here:

The small moments are typically the best ones. “Pictures Of Us” showcases these times in a neat package. The acoustics are sweet and genuine, with Ruby’s voice adding to that theme of warm friendship. The song feels cozy like a blanket. Even though times have changed, friendship holds strong, just like this tune. There’s something sweet in this song that reminds me of childhood memories and laughter.

However, friends are not the only thing a person should have trust in. “Trust Yourself” shares an important message in believing in your own capabilities even when it seems impossible to do so. The imagery is soft but vivid, such as the rain she describes or the ocean’s power. It can be hard to listen to yourself, but Ruby allows the listener to just melt into the song and breathe. The song is just like fresh air, clear and calming.

Everyone can feel overwhelmed and struggle with the constant movement of time. Personally, I struggle with anxiety in both social situations and with work. However, in my experience, the most powerful weapon to fight anxiety is music. Ruby Greenberg’s new EP is the perfect thing to turn on when you need a fresh perspective and a clear head. The Light Behind is exactly what people need right now. Get ready for the warmth on September 25th.
