"Honeydripper is a low-slung groove made for low-lit bars and anywhere the night lingers"

Some songs don’t announce themselves. They take their time. Ruby James’ “Honeydripper” moves that way. It doesn’t rush to explain itself. It settles in, holds its ground, and builds until it gives way to something heavier, and impossible to ignore.

“Honeydripper” traces back to a writing session at the Holiday Music Motel’s “Love on Holiday” gathering in Door County, Wisconsin, where James connected with songwriter Kate Vargas and built the track from instinct. It began with a simple groove, and a shared sense of chemistry.

“I’d wanted to write with Kate for years,” James says. “She has this incredible voice and presence. When we finally connected, it just clicked.”

What began as a playfully, provocative point of view has since taken on a different meaning.  James says, "It’s really become about owning your sexuality and your power - all the girls want to be Honeydrippers.”

It was also the song that caught the attention of Lucinda Williams during James’ first Nashville performance. Williams remarked,  “That’s the tune. That funky, soul-driven feel really suits you. Lean into that.”  With “Honeydripper,” Ruby James isn’t fitting into a lane. She’s carving one out, equal parts grit, groove, and a slow burn that eventually explodes."- Ruby James
