Ritt’s reimagined version of Corinne Bailey Rae’s 2006 track is exploding globally with over 97 million streams worldwide. Ritt Momney is the solo project of 20 year-old Salt Lake City native, Jack Rutter, which began as an indie rock band and became a personal outlet for Jack after his bandmates left on Mormon missions and his girlfriend left for college.

Put Your Records On is Ritt Momney’s first release following his July 2019 album, Her and All of My Friends. Anything on the radio was “basic.” If I played a song in the car and people knew it well enough to sing along, I changed it.
