Ruffin – “Shallow”

‘Got me acting shallow, got me off my game.  Got me thinking ‘bout ya body in every which way. I promise I’m not shallow but I’ll be superficial.” – lyrics

‘Shallow’ tells the story of a guy who’s head-over-heels in love with a woman he’s in a romantic relationship with. He’s addicted to her love and oftentimes finds himself doing things that he said he would never do. Also, all day long he thinks about being in bed with her body right next to him.

‘Shallow’ contains a relatable storyline, cozy soul vocals, and ear-welcoming instrumentation flavored with chillwave, electro-pop, and nostalgic soul elements.

The lyrics to “Shallow” are sure to make it a favorite for those in relationships or just getting over them as Ruffin pulls no punches and gives the raw truth with his heart on his sleeve.

“I really believe less can be more and nothing making me happier than blending or bouncing back and forth between different styles. Music is about creativity and energy and I think my vocals and production on ‘Shallow’ give a good example of both.” – Ruffin

In conclusion, Ruffin is an artist you need to keep an ear out for. Therefore, we recommend adding his “Shallow” single to your personal playlist.
