Cornish singer songwriter Ruarri Joseph is back with his eagerly anticipated second album, entitled Both Sides of the Coin. The album will be launched at the Princess Pavilion in Falmouth on 6 Feb 09 and heralds a return to form for the artist. Back in 2006, after he unexpectedly landed a major record deal with Atlantic, Ruarri shot into the limelight with a selection of songs originally recorded as demos at home. His album, Tales of Grime and Grit, gave him a couple of hit singles, a headline UK tour and slots on stages at Glastonbury, Bestival and Boardmasters.
But Ruarri's career stalled unexpectedly when the record company demanded more music in the same vein as the demos he had recorded so long ago - some songs had been written more than eight years before they made it into the public eye. Ruarri knew his writing had changed a lot since then. After struggling to write songs that weren't really right, he decided to leave Atlantic and work on songs he really believed in. A result of both the decision to try songwriting on his own terms and the fact that many of his close family had a turbulent start to the year, Both Sides Of The Coin really does look at both sides of life - both the sunny and the darker aspects.
With a busy few months of gigs and support slots with artists like Donavon Frankenreiter under his belt and attention and support from the likes of Rob Da Bank, Janice Long, and Dermot O Leary, it looks like 2009 is going to be a good year for Ruarri Joseph.
