"Face to Face" was the second single from Free Time, the second EP by Australian singer-songwriter Ruel, and it arrived in August 2019 with M-Phazes producing. It's a crush song for the screen age: Paper's Michael Love Michael heard a retro soul feel wrapped around a thoroughly current story, falling for someone through a screen. The Daily Item's Bella DiGrazia was won over by his range and by the saxophone solo near the end.
The video, directed by Grey Ghost and released the same day, has Ruel trailing a made-up French singer called ECÂF, breaking into her venue and getting thrown out, with her song "Pictures" playing at the close.
