RUEL rose to prominence as a teenager and achieved early success with breakout hits such as “Dazed and Confused,” off of his debut EP Ready, and “Painkiller,” off his second EP Free Time. With continued success across the Australian charts, he’s since cemented himself as a rising global pop artist.

His 2025 album Kicking My Feet, peaked at No. 36 on the Album Sales Chart — and was just the beginning of what he called part one of a two-part project. Today (June 12), that second half has arrived with Kicking My Feet & Screaming.
At its core, Kicking My Feet & Screaming is about embracing every aspect of a relationship — not just the joyful moments. While Kicking My Feet captures the excitement of being infatuated and, as RUEL describes it, “leaning into the cringe,” Kicking My Feet & Screaming takes on a more restless and emotionally charged tone. The album explores the full spectrum of love, from the giddy, obsessive highs to the overwhelming and complicated emotions that come with deeper vulnerability.
