RubyGld Smoke Teases Sophomore L.P. With Lovesick Anthem “Getting In Love’s Way”

op music duo RubyGld Smoke (T. L. & Dani Jo Williams) previews the release of their upcoming album with second single, “Getting In Love’s Way,” out September 24. Yet another product of RubyGld’s undeniable chemistry, “Getting In Love’s Way ” is an anthemic ballad sure to have crowds singing every word alongside the soulful pop duo. The single is the second release from the duo’s upcoming album Our Ancestors’ Wildest Dreams, out everywhere October 15.

Marking an evolution of the duo’s sound, the soulful performance they’re known to deliver adapts effortlessly to the pop-rock inspired ballad. “It displays a desire to build the evolution of the RubyGld sound around our musicianship and love for live performance,” RubyGld says, “so we began building our production to match that.” This single – sultry, led by silky electric guitar – was constructed to find its spotlight during live performances. In addition to a sound reminiscent of 90’s R&B, this emotional ballad gets to the root of conflict that causes the failure of so many romantic relationships: passive aggressive communication. They sing in the vocals-rich chorus, “maybe you just keep on getting in love’s way, maybe you just won’t stop getting in love’s way,” meaning that despite one’s intentions, they may be the force preventing a flourishing love.

Entertaining the masses with their retro pop music and making marriage look sexy again is only a slice of what this iconic power couple has to offer. Terrance and Dani Jo Williams (RubyGld Smoke) are the entrepreneurs of Quiet Kingdom Recordings and Quiet Kingdom Media Group (film company). The duo is also the founder of Symphony Of Change Inc. – an arts education organization dedicated to equitable arts enrichment programs throughout the US. When Dandria “Dani Jo” Williams met her husband T. L. Williams in early 2014, it was clear from the jump they were made to do something big together. Their undeniable chemistry was evident even as T. L. embarked on an initial solo career, garnering over 3 million streams with hits like “Gettin Mo Money Than You” and “Melanin”. Meanwhile, Dani Jo was a behind-the-scenes contributor through the entirety of T. L.’s 6 album solo run, co-writing songs and adding vocals. The couple, feeling like it was finally time, has now come out front together with an eclectic mix of pop-soul energy a la “Rose Royce”. Fans can stream RubyGld Smoke’s debut album entitled Revolutionary Love, which was released under their label Quiet Kingdom Recordings in November 2020.

Ava Valianti turns self-doubt into art with “Laugh Track”

In her new single, “Laugh Track,” Ava Valianti takes us on a peculiar journey through her thoughts and feelings, which many can connect to. With a mix of dark humor and raw honesty, Ava shares her experience of feeling like life is more of a series of awkward moments rather than a smooth story where she’s the star.

Drawing inspiration from movies and shows that explore deep emotions, like The Truman Show and How I Met Your Mother’s Ted Mosby, “Laugh Track” captures the unsettling feeling of always being on stage, even when nobody’s watching. It resounds with anyone who has sat alone and questioned whether the laughter around them is meant for them or at their expense.

The song combines deeper sounds with a light, catchy vibe, making its heavy themes approachable enough for dancing. Ava’s voice is strong and open, giving each line an authentic feeling that hits home.

“Laugh Track” is a stand-out because it embraces chaos. Ava doesn’t wrap up her insecurity and self-doubt in a tidy package. Instead, she celebrates the messiness of life and finds comfort in the imperfect characters we often see on TV and in ourselves. “Laugh Track” mirrors our experiences. Like the best comedy shows, it makes you laugh, feel uncomfortable, and reminds you that you’re not alone in your struggles.
