Muni Long, Ruined Me | Song Review 🎵

Grammy-winning R&B singer/songwriter Muni Long delivers a marvelous soundtrack to heartbreak with her single, “Ruined Me.”

“Every night, I’ve been crying / I can’t fall asleep / Laying in the bed in my diamonds / I still wear my ring.” Uh-oh! It’s given a heaping dose of heartbreak. Muni Long (Priscilla Renae) is ruined regarding L-O-V-E on her marvelous single, “Ruined Me”.  “Ruined Me” appears on the Grammy winner’s sophomore album, Revenge (arrives August 30, 2024).  Renae penned “Ruined Me” with producers Jeff “Gitty” Gitelman and Kevin Theodore. The backdrop sounds classic, dramatic, and modern.  The soulful vibes are amplified.

Throughout “Ruined Me,” Muni Long shows off her big, commanding, and powerful voice. She sings expressively and pours her all into the song. “I won’t pretend I was perfect / Like I don’t deserve / Some of this hurt,” she asserts in the second verse, adding, “Whoever might try to love me next / Is gon’ have a time.” Oh, snap! She makes you feel her pain and the ruin! The section to beat, unsurprisingly, is the chorus.

“After you (You), I’ll probably never love again (Never love)

This kind of heartbreak don’t ever end (Baby)

Baby, you ruined me.”

I don’t wish this ruin on Muni Long or anybody. But “Ruined Me” is top-notch.  Strong, heartfelt vocals, honest, relatable songwriting, and sleek, characteristic R&B production make this a surefire bop.
