Ruby Gilbert Returns with Cinematic Single ‘Goddamn Fool’

Alt-country storyteller Ruby Gilbert makes a powerful return with her haunting new single ‘Goddamn Fool’. A brooding tale of karmic justice and emotional reckoning, the track blends southern gothic noir with the cinematic grit of classic Spaghetti Westerns.

With its hypnotic banjo, dusty electric guitar and cinematic layering, ‘Goddamn Fool’ unfolds like a villain origin story set against the wide skies of the Australian outback. Propelled by steady drums and Gilbert’s unflinching vocal delivery, the song captures the moment of being outplayed in love and walking away without forgiveness or redemption.

“It’s about karmic justice; being outplayed, knowing you had it coming, and accepting the fall without asking for forgiveness or redemption,” says Ruby.

The ‘Goddamn Fool’ music video builds on that atmosphere, placing Gilbert in a stark gallery setting as a living exhibit of memory and regret before she steps beyond the frame to reclaim her own story.

A favourite with some of the country’s biggest tastemakers and playlisters, Ruby Gilbert has long captivated audiences with her dark, filmic brand of country noir. ‘Goddamn Fool’, sees her cement her reputation as one of Australia’s most compelling alt-country voices.
