Ruby has left a big post on her official site explaining everything that she's been going through for the past couple of years in the music industry - and making a big announcement about the next stage of her career.

Ruby has dropped by the Official Site's Messageboard to post a Christmas message to everyone: "Happy Holidays everyone. It's been a long time, hasn't it? Wish I could take time and tell each of you the many things going on in my world these past months (this past YEAR), but your head might spin! Please know that all is well, and I hope the same for you, too, and always! Much love to you,

I've reworked the site, so it should now load better for people viewing it at different screen resolutions and you can now access information more easily. There are three new wallpapers for you to download, based on the tracks "Sugah", "Bless You", and "Because Of Love", from Ruby's debut album, "So Now The Whole World Knows". Check them out in the media section. I've also added an Icons

Thanks to Ruby for posting a message on the board about the version of "Sugah" that's featured on the Jusin To Kelly film: "It's me on that J to K thing. Was asked to rewrite the lyric to fit the movie. Not a new song, just a different version for the film. They used my vocals for harmony as well." If you've not heard this version of Sugah yet, click here.

Thanks to "Adcama" - I've just uploaded a radio version of "Bless You", which is over a minute shorter than the original album version, and features some slight differences in the production. I'm not sure if the song was taken from a promotional CD, or why a radio edit was made - so if anyone has any more information, please get in touch. Click here to listen.

"Hey there... It's a holiday here today. We had a huge storm last night in which I held my little dog and stood in the hallway away from the windows, wide eyed at how big trees can be reduced to looking like spaghetti by tornado winds! I prayed that I wouldn't end up like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, and thankfully, here I am. I'm about 45percent of the way through preparing songs for my next

Ruby posted a new message on her official site on 4th May... "Hey! Just got back from a long and productive Writer's Retreat in the hills of Tennessee! Very very productive.

I've uploaded the lyrics to the Kelly and Justin version of Sugah and the Ruby-penned track Suprise, taken from former Aqua singer Lene's debut solo album. Click here for Sugah and here for Surprise.

I've just discovered that American Idol finalists Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini included a cover of Ruby's Sugah in their much-berrated movie "From Justin To Kelly".

Today I got a copy of the Chocolate Pie promo from eBay: There's no word on when this CD was released - if anyone knows, please let me know! The CD was only released to music insiders and could be either a fairly new release from Polydor, gearing up for the release of Chocolate Pie as a single, or was released around the time of Smoke and Honey to promote the album, and to gauge the reaction

I've been doing some research on AllMusic.com and came across a few Ruby projects that I've not heard about before.
