RUI

Rui's dramatic R&B-rap style combines lush electronics, spare beats, and yearning melodicism. The otherwise anonymous musician first emerged on an international stage with a cover of a song about making it big, the unreleased Weeknd track "Come Through," in early 2024. Parts boastful and wistful, the recording went viral to the point of charting in the Top 30 of the Billboard TikTok Top 50.
