"Walk Away," the new single from Ellis Ruff, falls solidly into the latter camp, an unfiltered, high-octane anthem with raw feeling and scalding guitar playing. Some songs hit you like a whisper, while others crash into you like a tidal wave, which is what "Walk Away" does to your body.
"Walk Away" thrusts you into an atmosphere of heavy riffs and deeply intimate themes. The guitar work feels like more than a backbone here. It feels like a voice roaring alongside Ellis's robust songwriting. Each note sounds deliberate, each chord manifesting the feelings spurring the track. The intensity is not only in the music; it's in the performance, in the way each strum and lyric seems to bear the weight of experience.
Ellis's artistic commitment permeates every tier of the song, a demonstration of an artist surveying their scene in full command of their oeuvre. The production is honest; nothing sounds over-polished or manufactured. Instead, "Walk Away" reveals its rawness, opening up the possibility that each moment sounds real and alive.
Having a sound this bold and a message this real, Ellis Ruff is showing he should not be overlooked. Turn it up. Feel it. And whatever you do, don't walk away.
