NSW Central Coast artist, Ruby Shay, has released her debut country single, Sinner (ft. her band, The Red Horse), on Halloween, out now through indie label, RTC Records.
Sinner was written by Ruby Shay and originally intended to tell the story of her late mother’s view of herself and her life. Shortly before she passed away, Ruby’s mother, Patricia, said that she thought that, “No amount of praying will get me into heaven”. A reference was made relative to having done some “sinful” things in her 49 years of life. Sitting on this line for almost 8 years, Ruby finally completed the song.
Over time, Sinner has become a song about the concept that everyone has a dark side, not one single person is perfect, and no way of life is right or wrong.
“It’s about accepting yourself, with all of your faults, and surrounding yourself with people who accept you the same way.” – Ruby Shay
