“There is a trust between us that allows me to be open and bare my soul in a way that is always cathartic and beautiful.” “The beautiful part of making music is the way people connect with the songs,” Ward says of writing the track. The evocative, acoustic folk-rock cut with rich, image-laden lyricism – “Suburban ego in a man beneath the man / he says “not so fast, I’ve got something to prove to you” – sees Ruth Ward not only a purveyor of palpable emotion but enthralling stories. Baltimore-hailing, Los Angeles-based artist Lauren Ruth Ward’s track “Suburban Ego” sees the singer-songwriter at her most pensive and introspective.
