Having had a solid campaign in 2024 with six singles getting released, Cincinnati-based singer-songwriter Ruben Dumars has today shared "Coup de grâce". The smooth new single is filled to the brim with layers that you can delve into time and time again, with every new play giving you plenty more to discover, enjoy, and find engagingly immersive.
... blending dream-pop, shoegaze, and alt-rock brilliance.
His soulful vocals really do pave the way for a new listener to instantly get addicted to the sounds on offer, and as you delve in further to the song you'll be like a child in a sweet (candy) shop, discovering delightful treats.
The genres you can hear in "Coup de grâce" range from the dreamier end of the spectrum with dream-pop, shoegaze, and psych-pop tones on offer, to the more lo-fi and alt-rock melodies. All in all, I'd say that if you like alternative rock that leans into that shoegaze/dream-pop end of things, you'll absolutely love this, and you'll be sure to become a devoted fan from the very first play!
