Going by the names The Ruben or Ruben Simonsen, this Tromsø, Norway-based artist immediately reflects his multifaceted musical personality. Throughout his life, he has been collecting experiences and transforming them into songs with universal appeal. For him, writing music is like free therapy, allowing him to express himself freely. His music feels like open chapters of his diary as he pours himself, writing his songs from personal experiences in order to give the lyrics a very real feeling that is easy to connect with. All the tracks he releases stem from true stories in his life, written in an honest and vulnerable way. Though we all go through different situations, we all share the same emotions underneath. As an artist fueled by his own integrity and authenticity, The Ruben hopes to bring some healing through his music and he hopes you embrace him fully.

The Ruben is back with an enchanting new jam dubbed “Your Name (Karma).” The song plays on the concept of karma, making it easy to relate to. It feels like you’re haunted by his sultry vocals and the subtle, synthetic, and hauntingly mellow electro-pop elements that accompany his unmistakable range and power.

If you’re someone who prefers to leave karma to deal with your ex’s wrongdoings rather than seeking revenge, then “Your Name (Karma)” is the perfect fit for you.

The Ruben sings with a raw and honest tone, making it clear that writing this song was therapeutic for him. The song is a bit darker in vibe and shows a different side to his music. The edgier and harder feel of the jam perfectly suits its emotional weight.

At the heart of the song is an unforgettable chorus that will undoubtedly stay with you all day, encapsulating the song’s thematic essence in a catchy and memorable way.

Stream, add “Your Name (Karma)” to your playlist, and recommend it to your friends. Follow The Ruben @rubensimonsen_music for more real-time updates.
