RUXA Returns with Soulful New Single “Campfire”
“‘Campfire’ took its sweet time with me. It's the most personal song I've written so far, and it needed space to settle. It tells the story of a romance that stands outside time and the public gaze. It is clandestine, sacred, and wild, but fragile. It is the fire you light on a cold night when suddenly everything becomes possible. It came at a time when I was taking a new chance on love, and that story changed me in ways I couldn't have imagined,” shares RUXA.
Adding to its heartfelt lyrics, the song surprises with touches of acoustic guitar, woven into an almost theatrical sound that resonates with the style this singer-songwriter, model, and actress has consistently crafted.
RUXA was clear from the start that she wanted to make art her livelihood, not just a hobby. In 2020, a year after graduating with a degree in Acting from Bucharest, she moved to London in search of the opportunities she felt were missing in her home country. In London, she went on to earn a degree in Popular Music.
“The one constant in my life has always been music. I wanted to pursue it from a young age, but I soon felt discouraged by the limited paths for musicians in Romania. I knew I wanted more, and I wasn’t someone to follow others’ footsteps—but it wasn’t until my twenties that my dreams began to take shape,” she explains.
Campfire follows the success of her well-received single Come Hell or High, released months ago and now boasting over 59k views on YouTube. That single also came with a music video where RUXA showcases her acting skills and underscores her gothic rock style with sepia filters and bold lighting contrasts.
Both Campfire and Come Hell or High mark a clear evolution in RUXA’s musical journey compared to her earlier works.
RUXA’s goal has always been to tell stories, especially her own. For her, connecting with the public through her emotions and visions is an act of bravery—and even rebellion—embracing the risk of vulnerability.
Campfire is now available on all digital platforms, and it promises to be the beginning of an exciting new chapter for RUXA, an artist wholly committed to following her instincts and staying true to her craft.
