Ruby Gill 2.0

Our guest today is the extraordinary Ruby Gill. The South African-born, Naarm-based singer-songwriter has built a reputation for crafting music that’s both deeply introspective and sharply observant—capturing life’s most vulnerable moments while reflecting on the world around us. Last week, Ruby released her stunning second album, Some Kind of Control—a beautifully sparse and affecting record that blends dry wit, political insight, and emotional depth. In today’s episode, we welcome Ruby back to the podcast to chat about the making of the album, how she channels frustration into catharsis, and the balance of weight and levity in her songwriting. We also talk about the all-female choir featured on the record—including Hannah McKittrick and Angie McMahon—and how Ruby plans to bring these songs to the stage.
