Release Notes:
Now here's a guy who sounds like he's got it all more or less
sorted; Mark Ruebery demonstrates his all-round musical
prowess with a crackin' single, 'Something Opens Windows'. A
moody but quite vibrant work that refuses to be genre labelled
- not pop, not indie, not folk - more boundless than any of
the more normal conventional, commercial musical genre -
workmanlike, smart, mature and very, very easy on the ear.
Quite obviously a songwriter of some distinction, clearly a
great musician and most notably a stunning vocalist, Mark
Ruebery sings from the heart and lays his soul on the line
with this mildly balladic offering, 'Something Opens Windows'.
Ruebery has a mature voice and wonderfully precise delivery,
facts which make his songs very accessible and extremely
compelling. A bit like Billy Joel I suppose, Ruebery writes
with similar passion and performs with similar belief and
individualism. Yes, Ruebery gives it his all and yet I'm sure
he's got more 'up his sleeve' if required; his ability to
bring the emotional side of his songs to the listener is
remarkable. Ruebery draws you in, slowly at first, then
suddenly you're in and hooked - Ruebery is like a slow-release
medication that takes that little bit longer to act upon you
mind and your system. But, once under the influence, it's hard
to break the 'habit'!
Mark Ruebery's music isn't brash or manic in any way, it's
softly compulsive and gently persuasive! Ruebery grows slowly
but surely; 'Something Opens Windows' isn't pure pop by any
stretch of the imagination, it kinda sits on mid-ground
between individualistically acoustic and commercially sound -
intelligent-folk perhaps! Certainly there's a maturity to what
this young man does and 'Something Opens Windows' is surely
destined to get decent air-play and with further exposure Mark
Ruebery could start to make his mark on the music scene in a
big way.
'Something Opens Windows' by the awesomely talented and
extremely likeable Mark Ruebery is more of a slow grower than
a true hard-hitting pop song; I'm sure that Ruebery will pull
in many new 'friends' and believers with this tasty little
work and slowly he'll start to make a well earned impression
and climb up the success ladder to become a household name in
the not too distant future. 'Something Opens Windows' by Mark
Ruebery is a great introduction to a new rising star and
should do well.
