Songs from South Africa
18 February 2026
This new song offers a laid-back yet vibrant beat overlayed with delicate keys and relaxed vocals, blending old-school hip-hop, jazz and R&B influences to create her signature sound. Rubii’s music creates a perfectly chilled vibe you can tap into no matter your mood, its mellow rhythms and smooth vocals provide a soothing soundtrack to daily life.
Showcasing her conversational lyricism with an air of unbothered, Rubii lays out her experience of career jealousy interfering with a romantic connection. Though wise to the competitiveness coming from other musicians, she recites ‘I’ve been told differences but I think that it’s jealousy’. This single gives insight into the themes that her upcoming EP will explore, with a strong focus on self-empowerment you can expect to hear more honesty from Rubii.
Alongside an EP in the works, Rubii recently supported the Wasia Project on their UK tour and is embarking on her first headline tour in April. Rubii’s success to date has paved the way for her to increasingly bring her creative vision to light, demonstrate her artistry and affirm her imprint in the alternative R&B space. If you are a fan of ENNY and JGrrey, you will want to keep RUBII firmly on your radar!
