Check out NomiRuiz's 'Cocaino' below!
, making music that speaks to her experience is her first, second and third consideration when making a song. If her music isn't authentic to who she is, then why even make it in the first place? And that authenticity comes in the form of hip-hop and soul.
That fact is present on the singer's latest single "Cocaino" , the first from her long-awaited album , due out next year. A smooth, scintillating jam, the song features classic sounds from hip-hop, R&B and soul, as the singer smoothly croons about wanting her lover like they're a drug: she's hooked and can't get enough.
After deciding that she wanted to pay tribute to her idols, like Nas and Mobb Deep, Ruiz went about finding the right collaborators, along with her producer Michael Moreno, to make her vision a reality. That's when she found Josh Werner & Gintas Janusonis, two all-star producers who had worked with some of her other idols, the Wu-Tang Clan.
"I knew they could bring so much to these songs and take them to the next level," she says. "It'd been a while since I worked in the studio with musicians. I missed that collaborative spirit. They took me to a place I'd wanted to be for so long and made me fall in love with music all over again." Ruiz's fans have been patiently waiting for her to return to her solo music — after working with groups like Hercules & the Love Affair and her own creation Jessia 6 in the mid-2000s, the star's music career has been largely silent . After years of shifting her sound, and chasing new paths, Ruiz says that she hopes her fans get to know her even better with her latest single.
