The track continues to establish the artist’s slick sound.
On the excellent new single ‘Running’, critically acclaimed UK artist VC Pines continues to showcase the nuances of his sound and why so many people rate him as one of the most exciting prospects in the region right now.
The unique tone of the artist’s vocals and the thoughtful nature of his lyrics always make for a listening experience that feels very specific to VC Pines, and this new release is no exception. There is a real sense of warmth that radiates from his work, even when deals with themes like hardship and loneliness like on this track. Aesthetically, not many make tracks that feel as alluring and heartfelt as VC Pines, who seems to feel like he pours his soul into anything that he writes about, aided by shimmering production and slick instrumentals on an unerringly consistent basis.
Speaking about the new release, he said, “Running is about loneliness. Never feeling like you really fit into a group of friends. You know people from different pockets of London who tend to drift in and out of their lives every weekend and then disappear for a while. It’s easier to hide addictions from people because no one’s really able to keep an eye on you. You hate being stuck in one place for too long, but there’s always someone telling you you need to take a breather from chaotic work life/social life.”
