Empire Child’s “Negativity Be Gone” has a calm kind of power to it. It is the sort of song that does not need to shout to get its point across. Ruth Rothwell brings a lot of life experience into this project, and you can hear that in the way the song speaks about healing, self-belief, and choosing better thoughts when the world gets heavy. Ruth has spent years shaping music from behind the scenes, from her work in the UK dance scene to helping guide artists and songwriters connected to major records. With Empire Child, she is now putting her own voice and story at the center, and “Negativity Be Gone” sounds like a meaningful step in that direction. The song focuses on taking control of the thoughts and people we allow into our lives, with Ruth sharing the idea that we have choices in how we think and who we surround ourselves with. The sound has a warm mix of jazz, soul, singer-songwriter honesty, and a light reggae touch. It gives the track a relaxed, open mood, while still keeping a sense of movement. The message lands in a very human way, too. Lines about healing becoming a way of life, and the idea that being broken beyond repair is a lie, give the song a strong emotional center without making it feel heavy.
I like how “Negativity Be Gone” sounds comforting yet direct, and I think it is the kind of song people should keep in their playlists for days when they need a small push back toward peace, clarity, and better energy. I also like that it does not pretend life is simple, but it still points you toward hope. Empire Child is building a project rooted in identity, resilience, heritage, and learning how to move forward, and this track fits that world beautifully. Make sure to follow Empire Child, keep up with the upcoming music, watch the live performance, and add “Negativity Be Gone” to your playlist so it can be there when you need a reminder to protect your peace, let go of the noise, and make room for better people, better thoughts, and better days.
