“Ice” is exemplary of RuudAwakening’s precise vocal flow and knack for busy, melodic beats. The second track off CATHARSIS, the Florida-based artist’s new album, “Ice” builds with exhilarating form. A whirring at 01:25 signals an expansive rhythmic flow, which alongside the vocals and key-laden arpeggio plays with an excitable frenzy. The breakdown around 02:10 is another highlight. “Ice” is a captivating track from RuudAwakening, and a nice idea of what to expect from this talented rapper’s latest album.
Regarding the album, the artist says: “I wanted to create something with a lot of feeling, meaning, honesty and sincerity. I believe that I have. I want my listeners to be able to look at my core, and perhaps see themselves there as well. This music is for everybody. Catharsis is here to heal you.”
