Ruth Koleva Top 5 Influences:
Underworld – Born Slippy
I have introduced to Underworld’s music a few years ago and was able to see them live in Amsterdam in 2018. A masterpiece of a show with super high energy and amazing sound. I tend to get inspired by different genres of music and Underworld has really opened a whole new world for me.
Amy Winehouse – Love is a losing game
Amy Winehouse was a talent beyond time and space. Her soul, sensuality, lyrics and voice are something that will always stay with me and I’ll come back to. I remember watching the documentary “Amy” in LA and crying for days afterward. A talent lost too soon but gave so much to the world of music.
David Bowie – Space Oddity
Innovation and artistic presentation like no other. I love so many things about David Bowie – his charisma, him standing up and speaking on social issues, his songs, his live performance…even his movies. Genius.
George Michael – Freedom ’90
As I was born in 1990, this song is like a little “birthday anthem” to me. I fell in love with George Michael’s music too late. After he was gone. He’s truly one of the best songwriters in history and was a real visionary. He was a great human being too. He gave away 200 million of his fortune to charity. Quitely. He didn’t do it for PR or recognition. Also, David Fincher is my all-time favorite music video director (and movies, btw) and this video is one of his masterpieces.
Childish Gambino – Redbone
I don’t know what I love about Donald Glover the most. His music, his movies, his videos or his thought process. A living breathing, genius.
