Tell us about your new music.
Coming off my last single “WILD,” I wanted “Runaway” to the water to the WILD fire. It is a bit airy yet dreamy with meaningful lyrics that really sweep you off your feet for a moment in time. I am looking to uplift my audience from the dreariness of their own lives, telling them that they should break free and go for whatever they want, no matter the circumstances. I hope many other people’s minds can get lost for a few minutes!
What was the writing and recording process?
I wrote “Runaway” during the pandemic when I felt extremely stuck at home. I sat staring out the window dreaming of all the places I’d like to go, dreaming of running away no matter the obstacles, and manifesting the positive thoughts of I don’t have to stay down right now because the world is a bit sad. “Runaway” is meant to lift a person up!
My producer, George Alexander, listened to what I wanted for “Runaway” and thought to add the natural sound of a Baldwin piano. I am so glad we did, it truly incorporated the raw sound that I wanted throughout the entire song. It was an extremely hands-on process. From the writing to the production, I was involved in every piece which makes it even more rewarding to hear the final product.
