Former Chromatics singer Ruth Radelet shares solo debut details

Ruth Radelet, once of Chromatics, will release debut solo EP The Other Side on October 7. News of the EP is accompanied by new single “Stranger,” written about "a specific kind of loneliness that I have only felt in Los Angeles," according to the singer. Check that out below.

The Other Side will feature five songs, including "Crimes" released earlier this year. In a statement about the EP Radelet said: “The Other Side represents a side of my personality as an artist that most people haven’t seen until now. It also represents my coming out the other side of a traumatic experience, gathering what I could from ‘Before’ and figuring out how to exist ‘After.’"

"This record was forged in the fire of a transformative two-year period during which I lost almost everything, including my father who was a huge influence on me. Most of the songs were written just before I was caught up in a storm of big changes, and they were all finished just as life started to feel sweet again. It feels right to share some of the last chapter before moving into the next, and though itʼs a melancholy record, for me The Other Side is a step into a bigger and brighter future."

Chromatics announced their break-up in August of last year. Shortly after news of the split was made public Radelet released a cover of Elliott Smith's "Twilight."
