Released earlier this month, the track delivers a vibrant, glitch-infused sound, striking a perfect balance between pop, alternative, and electro influences. Taking on the role as both characters in this story, RUDEY crafts a narrative centered on bravery and self-reflection. The fast-paced, jolty production breaks boundaries, with no rules or limits, he infuses the song with a unique mix of sonic textures.
“This song took quite a journey to complete, with constant reimagining and efforts to achieve cohesion. ‘U’ represents self-reflection and bravery. After taking some much-needed time away from everything, I was finally able to gain a broader perspective and see myself from a bird’s-eye view. That’s when ‘U’ came to life. Initially, it was fast and exhilarating, but I had to step away for nearly a year to understand how to finish it. The second verse of ‘U’ may sound like another person's voice, but it’s actually me playing a different character in my own story. At the time of the initial recording, I couldn’t fully embody this perspective, but a year later, I gained the insight needed to complete it.” - RUDEY

As RUDEY prepares for the release of his highly anticipated debut EP, We’re Going Too Fast, Don’t Slow Down, he does so with a sense of urgency, boldly setting the stage for what’s to come with the release of U. The project blends emotive lyricism with bold production, capturing the urgency of life’s most intense moments. With a unique sound that fuses electronic elements, live instrumentation, and heartfelt storytelling, RUDEY is quickly becoming a name to watch in both the Nashville scene and beyond.
More on RUDEY…
RUDEY is the artist project of versatile Nashville-based songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Noah Nockels. Having grown up in a family of producers and touring musicians, Rudey speaks music fluently. He began learning music production at age 11, discovering a deep love for electronic music. This discovery, combined with his earlier musical “first loves” (Coldplay, Phil Collins, Owl City), set him on a path of sonic exploration. RUDEY’s first single, “Grip,” generated local buzz and filled a sonic gap within the Nashville music landscape.
