Multi-Award Winning R&B-Soul Duo RUFF ENDZ Releases New Single, “CONGRATULATIONS” From Their Upcoming Fifth Studio Album “REBIRTH” (Available on April 2nd)
“We thought instead of making your typical break up song, we would write a song like “Congratulations” that shows how two people can successfully move on and be happy for each other,” shares David. “Too many times we hear about the drama of break-ups but there are many people who are emotionally mature enough to be happy for their ex. It’s about everyone finding happiness in whatever path they choose in love,” adds Dante. The song just debuted on ThisIsRnB.com.
“BE THE ONE“, the lead single from the project was recently released to a world premiere exclusively on RollingOut.com to rave reviews. The catchy mid-tempo song was written and produced by David Chance and co-written by Dante Jordan. “The inspiration behind “Be The One” is based on our own experiences and the experiences of most people I know,” mentions David. “When a man has finally found the one lady that he feels is his soulmate or his ride or die, he is willing to put it all on the line for her and will put her worries to rest,” he adds. “We hope to help change the narrative with this song in our community to show that men need love and want to be in love too.”
“CONGRATULATIONS” and “BE THE ONE” are available on all streaming platforms now and will appear on RUFF ENDZ‘ fifth studio album, “REBIRTH” available for pre-orders now and will be globally released on April 2nd, via the SRG ILS Group label imprint.
