ruth lorenzo He experienced the problems of the music industry firsthand. She knows the advantage of being supported by a record company, but she especially knows how bad it is when you lose control of your career and have no say in your own project. . All of that, however, is a thing of the past. That of Murcia, icon of Eurovision since 2014, now flies free as an independent artist, a new step that accompanies the release of unreleased material. It is an EP composed of four songs. A step forward that has been slow to take because changes, especially those that occur in uncharted territory, are always expensive.
“The return process and, more importantly, the return decision process has been to do things from my own knowledge and be consistent with my actions. What has always been essential for me is to give quality“says Ruth Lorenzo in an interview with LOS40. “Achieving the goal takes time, but that is the situation of women in the times in which we live. Once you know you can, the rest goes on its own. You leave the contract that has you without being able to leave. You find the pieces to move. The media open their doors to you…”.
For Ruth, as she says herself, it was essential to overcome her fears, to make her voice heard and to share with her followers, those who really finance her career, what was going on. “Fear paralyzes you and makes you not know where to go next. I learned that if you don’t share that fear and keep it to yourself, it becomes a voice that silences you. Once I decided to speak. With fear, and despite the fear, I knew that I was not alone”, says the singer. “When you have someone who continually says you’re not engaging, your music isn’t working, you’re irrelevant…you believe all of that and back off.. But I decided to give a concert, complete and cut my hair as a sign of release. I realized that I should have done it before.”
“The problem is with the lords of the industry”
The music industry has changed a lot since Ruth Lorenzo debuted with her debut studio album, blue planet. The singer is doing well with the new rules of the game, those that allow this new work to reach more people thanks to the access that there is today to music. However, as he points out, the problem is different. “The big problem we have is the dinosaurs who keep thinking that when they put out a record they bought a person.. The problem is with the lords of the industry. It’s so gaslighter, so stuck, so much to make you think you’re tiny,” says the former Eurovision Song Contest representative. “Gentlemen generate in you the need that if you don’t go through it you won’t ‘t get anything. there.”
But Ruth Lorenzo managed to arrive. It’s out and we already have the result available under the title of The Queen, an EP composed, produced and sung by her. “It’s a very special launch. I’m doing something that a lot of women in the industry do, which is to run their own project,” she says. “I did not expect the reception he is getting. I didn’t expect the positioning of something I wanted to do, which is rock, and having achieved a very authentic sound.. It’s a very nice job to do.”
