(Los Angeles, CA – March 10th, 2023) – Australian singer/songwriter and pop prodigy Ruel releases the music video for “I DON’T WANNA BE LIKE YOU” which is directed by James Chappell (Amy Shark). Watch HERE.
“I DON’T WANNA BE LIKE YOU” is featured on Ruel’s debut album 4TH WALL which released last week via RCA Records. Through a journey that spanned over the last three years, Ruel’s long-awaited debut album explores his most personal and stellar musical offerings to date. The 14-track offering features an array of writing collaborators and producers including M-Phazes (Khalid, Noah Cyrus), Sammy Witte (Harry Styles, Halsey), Gabe Simon (Dua Lipa, Maroon 5), Spencer Stewart (Alina Baraz, ROLE MODEL) and artists PJ Harding and Mikky Ekko.
Ruel recently announced the North American and European/United Kingdom legs of his headlining “4TH WALL WORLD TOUR” in support of his debut album 4TH WALL. The hugely anticipated tour will see the Australian trailblazer light up stages across the globe in his first world tour in over three years.
On getting back on tour, Ruel says, “I cannot wait to get back to my fans and play some of my favourite cities in the world and experience brand new ones too. I’ve never looked forward to a tour this much and I’m counting down the days until I can play a bunch of new tracks from the album as well as all my fan favourites.”
Kicking off in Brisbane on April 14th, Ruel will make his way through Australia and New Zealand before heading to North America, where he’ll be playing in major cities including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and more. In September, he’ll be stopping in select cities across Europe and the United Kingdom. Full list of tour dates below.
