Ruth Radelet (/ˈrædəleɪ/,[1] born April 28, 1982)[2][3] is an American singer, songwriter and musician. She is best known for her work as the lead vocalist in the electronic band Chromatics, formed in 2001.[4] A native of Portland, Oregon, Radelet joined Chromatics in 2006 after the band relocated to Portland from Seattle, Washington. The band's first album to feature Radelet as vocalist and guitarist was their cult release Night Drive (2007), the record which marked a notable shift in their sound, incorporating elements of synth pop and post punk.

Radelet also appeared with Chromatics in the Showtime series revival of Twin Peaks (2017).[5]
