Ruel Announces New Album “Kicking My Feet”, Shares New Song “The Suburbs”
Los Angeles-based Australian singer-songwriter Ruel has announced his upcoming sophomore album “Kicking My Feet” will be released on October 17, 2025.
It is his first LP in two years since the 2023 debut album “4th Wall”. Also, the record is the first release under his new label Giant Music.
The album comprises 11 tracks, on which he worked with producers Julian Bunetta, Joel Little, Mark SchickAmmo, M-Phazes, and Elias Danielsen.
From the album, he unveiled a new song “The Suburbs” on August 21, 2025.
The song is the second single off of the album, following “I Can Die Now” released last month.
The track explores themes of intimacy and imagining a simpler life with someone special.
It was written by Chelsea Lena, Elias Danielsen, Fran Hall, Mark Landon, and Ruel Vincent Van Dijk. Produced by M-Phazes and Elias Danielsen.
Ruel said, “It's been pretty daunting to offer up this level of honesty in my songwriting but seeing the way it's already connected so personally with fans has calmed my 'pre-album' nerves in a huge way. I knew I wanted to push myself on this new album, but it wasn't until I had to finalise the track list that I realised I'd actually made over 200 songs for Kicking My Feet.”- Ruel said of the album, “I'm so proud to finally tell you my second album Kicking My Feet is coming out October 17!!! When I started writing again, after being on tour for the most part of 2023, I didn't know if I was ready for album #2. I'd just signed with Giant Music, and I was still figuring out who I wanted to be as an artist. But the process of writing this record- finding my closest collaborators, writing and rewriting over 200 songs, chasing ideas that felt more honest and real to me than ever... it pushed me to drop my guard and say what I actually mean. And that's what this album is, a collection of songs where I share things I truly truly mean.”
