In Tango Noir's
second all original album, "Darling ... Keep it to Yourself", Ruth
uses the rhythms of the cabaret, the Tango, the Habanera, the Waltz, Ruth
successfully infuses the album with an atmosphere of 1930s Berlin to create
music which is new and nostalgic at the same time. It is a very listenable and beautiful album.
Lush arrangements
enhance the style, providing a bittersweet flavour when backing her acerbic
lyrics. With cabaret undergoing a revival at present, Ruth is an artist who
perfectly captures the mood of that style and era on this album.
