Former Chromatics frontperson Ruth Radelet is headed to Australia for the first time in over a decade to play an intimate show at RISING Festival.

Ahead of the singer-songwriter's long-awaited visit and release of her debut solo album, she joins Tristen to share the songs that have shaped her - from her earliest influences to the music that is currently making her buzz. Ruth talks us through five beautiful picks, including Emmylou Harris (who first inspired her to sing) and a song from Nick Cave & Warren Ellis’ latest LP, which has soundtracked “many a road trip and existential moment of late.”

Ruth Radelet plays the Forum upstairs on June 16.
