Ruth Radelet, the former voice and frontperson of Chromatics, has shared her inaugural original solo single. “Crimes” is a collaboration between Radelet and producer Filip Nikolic of Poolside. Take a listen below.
“‘Crimes’ is about the pursuit of success at the expense of one’s integrity, and the exploitation of others in order to get ahead,” Radelet said in a statement. “It’s about the price we pay for our choices, and whether or not it’s worth it. The question, ‘Is it easy to start over?’ can be interpreted in two ways—it’s meant to ask how it feels to continually reinvent yourself until you lose sight of who you are. It also asks how hard it would be to walk away from it all.”
Radelet, Adam Miller, and Nat Walker announced the end of Chromatics last year. Miller has also embarked on a solo career of his own. Radelet will perform “Crimes” for the first time at Miller’s free April 21 show at Los Angeles’ Zebulon. She recently covered Elliott Smith’s “Twilight.”
