Reuben Medlin Emerges with Stirring Album of Survival

‘It’s A Long Walk Home Pt. 2’ is a powerful ode to healing and hope.

Rising UK singer, songwriter, and producer Reuben Medlin has released 'It’s A Long Walk Home Pt. 2', a stunning self-produced album that chronicles his battle with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Written during nearly two years of being housebound, the project transforms isolation into introspection, weaving a sonic journey of resilience, reflection, and eventual renewal.

The standout single, 'Live My Life Happy', has already struck a chord - landing on three Spotify editorial playlists and receiving support from BBC Introducing. It’s a track that pulses with optimism, offering a glimpse into Reuben’s new chapter after years of physical and emotional strain.

Hailing from Wiltshire, Reuben channels the lived experience of illness into hauntingly honest songwriting. On Chronic Fatigue, he confronts the realities of long-term sickness head-on, turning pain into poetry. “I hope to reach people who are struggling... to help them realise they aren’t facing it alone,” he says.

With live shows on the horizon and a growing grassroots following, Reuben Medlin is quickly becoming one of the UK’s most compelling new voices - one whose music doesn’t just resonate, it heals.

'It’s A Long Walk Home Pt 2' is out now.
