They say third time’s a charm, but for Vaeda Black, we’re pretty sure she’s had all the guts and glory all along. However, new track, “Run Fast” – which we are thrilled to be premiering here today – is unlike anything we’ve heard from the Long Island, NY up-and-comer.
The follow up to “Face Down” and “Suicide Love,” “Run Fast” is a chilling tale of taboos and teenage destruction that will even leave Fiona Apple green with envy.
“‘Run Fast’ is a song about nightlife and the things we do to forget,” shared the singer. “The inspiration for this song came from my experience at parties. I am a friendly person, but I like to sit back and observe the night sometimes. I noticed that these nights are like a “game” in a sense. We put all of our energy into numbing ourselves. Whether it’s drinking, smoking yourself to an oblivion or hooking up with someone, it’s a way to forget and feel free. I think the song perfectly encapsulates that “I’m gonna do what I want and I don’t care about the consequences” attitude.”
“Run Fast” officially releases tomorrow, April 24. Pre-save the track on Spotify and enter to win a Vaeda Black t-shirt! Details here.
