April will see Ruel bring his long-awaited debut album, 4TH WALL, to stages across the country. The album, executively produced by M-Phazes (Khalid, Noah Cyrus, Remi Wolf), was originally heading down a Pop/R&B lane, however, the pandemic acted as a major personal and professional catalyst for Ruel.
His matured identity galvanized his decision to forge his own creative direction and played a vital part in expanding his musical horizons. As a result, 4TH WALL evokes a matured sound and elevated lyricism, bending between euphoric and contemplative realms of pop.
“So excited to tour AU/NZ again, playing at home is the best feeling ever, the crowds are always so energising and the vibe in the room is unmatched. It’s going to be so much fun to finally play the record live and share it with everyone in real time. These shows are always so special and I cannot WAIT to see everyone again,” says Ruel.
Ruel is both a seasoned international performer and a record-breaking musician for tomorrow’s generation. Since making his debut in 2017 when he was just fourteen, the London-born, Sydney raised artist has fast become one of his generation’s most influential musicians. Sitting with over 2 billion global streams and 1.2 million Instagram followers, the pop sensation also holds ground breaking records as the youngest artist ever to win Breakthrough Artist at the ARIA Awards and as the youngest musician to sell out the Sydney Opera House… twice.
It comes as no surprise that Ruel has caught the attention of the industry’s most respected individuals, with icon Elton John and musical tastemaker Zane Lowe, both championing his career developments. Alongside three sold-out world tours, Ruel has shared stages with Khalid, and Shawn Mendes, played Tyler, the Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw festival, and released collaborations with Denzel Curry, JVKE, Omar Apollo and Cosmo’s Midnight.

Ruel has treated audiences to taster of the forthcoming record with the beautifully emotive ballad MUST BE NICE. The track adds to an already striking list of releases from Ruel, including the dancefloor anthem, GROWING UP IS _____, dream-like LET THE GRASS GROW and the poignant social and personal observations of YOU AGAINST YOURSELF.
Now, three EPs deep (READY, FREE TIME and BRIGHT LIGHTS, RED EYES), the time is well and truly nigh for 4TH WALL to take flight.
Presale available from 9am local Thursday, February 9. Tickets on sale to the general public from 9am local Friday, February 10.
