The Rubyz, comprised of high school sophomore Alexis Slifer (16) and college freshman Cammie Hall (18), are poised to release their sophomore album, Sound Off, with iShine Records on October 27.

“We wanted to say some things more straight up this time, really encouraging younger kids as well as our peers to live for the Lord,” says Hall.

Following the notable success of a self-titled debut album (Radio Disney airplay, national touring, a surprise UK chart hit), The Rubyz are definitively well-positioned to sound off, to make a distinctive noise that expresses their opinion without fear or hesitation.

Sound Off features five highly danceable tunes, all co-written by The Rubyz and deepened by their social and spiritual-minded lyrics. Produced with retro sensibility and a modern edge by Chris Omartian (Hilary Duff) and Kevan Cyka (Everlife), the project also includes fan-friendly, instrumental sing-along tracks for each selection. The Rubyz’ sound off on peer influenced topics such as dating in the song “Ladies and Gentlemen” and self image in “The Memo.” Sound Off is completed with tracks “Watch the Girl,” “Give You My Heart” and “Stuck in the Grey.”

The Rubyz released their debut self-titled album in 2008 and have since been a part of such notable tours as iShine Live and Christ In Youth’s Believe tour.
