[@tshepomsimango7667]

the 12 people that disliked this are weird such an entertainer with a beautiful voice

[@rueBrown]

Tshepo Msimango ha! Shoutout to you! I appreciate your words 🖤

[@EonsOfReflection]

when I first came across this I couldn't get into it. And it bugged me cos' rationally it seemed to have all the elements I like to see coming together to create a masterpiece of a performance. I didn't 'dislike' it but I was just not FEELING it. Between then and now I've been working on stepping into the heart space and out of my head and practicing noticing what something makes me think as well as what it makes me feel. This helped a lot with seeing beyond someones words and knowing what they will actually do, as opposed to what they promise. Initially, the chat she engaged in at the beginning seemed forced and inappropriate. Now it all flows and makes sense and sets the mood and feels honest, sweet and vulnerable. Our outside perspective only stretches only so far as it has gone inwardly. I now know where the ppl who disliked this are coming from and cannot judge them for it.

[@mariiilyyyne]

Seriously, could we have more of you ? Still the same smile when I listen to you ❤️

[@zoeduplessis8757]

Rue Brown!! You are an absolute wonder!

[@ChamiraAthauda]

Ok let's talk about charisma and sheer damn vocal range. This is class.

[@jrlegend9698]

Her personality gives me Macy Gray vibes! Love it!

[@user-tt4dw8mm7m]

Why isnt she a star yet? Somebody sign her up!

[@Theshamanomar]

Wow, one of the most amazing voices and talents I’ve heard in a long time. The spirit of Lauren Hill lives in her🙌🏼

[@rezzent3240]

A real life Goddess, this woman is.

[@demikaholland368]

I’ve listened to this almost everyday for over a year

[@babymcqueens3055]

The music is tasteful. Nobody can touch the trumpet, though lol! Your flow was awesome. But continue to make music. And keep up the good work. 👏😊

[@rueBrown]

[@cynthiakila1161]

Nice . N them boots “ yes , matter of fact her whole style 🙌🏾

[@mandelharvey3429]

You are beautiful and I love you. Your beauty includes your spirit, exemplified by your expression, and the skill with which you ply your vocal instrument. And props to the horn man. He played his role well and stayed out of your lane. A great example for when we play the sideman. Your band plays with skill and vigor and you work well with them. I'm going to dream about you as an artist and a wife. Not a stalker, just a fan.

[@theaprilglasgowshow]

Geeeeeeeeezzzzzz! This is couple's therapy

[@abigailisa6790]

Totally obsessed with you rue. When I grown up I wana be you and ari lennox baby 😭
