Junoe – Running Away (2021)
Junoe continues the story of an epic galactic hero lost between two worlds with his single ‘Running Away. Bringing the juxtaposition of life to sonic glory, he weighs light against dark, love against heartbreak and joy against loss. All of this is done to a blended soundscape that brings both electronic and organic tones to some 80s vibes.
The single is the next step in Junoe’s breaking free of his robotic and emotionless homeworld. As he journeys through the galaxy, he paints his adventures across the skies through his music. A really different approach, his music is engaging while touching on a lot of serious topics in a really engaging way.
‘Running Away’ glitters and shimmers to life with a wash of electronic tones that bring a light cosmic vibe to your senses. This is wrapped in a light dusting of 80s synth-pop sensibilities. As the neon lights of the single swirl around you, they make you want to twirl to their rhythm. There is a great beat resting in the low levels that the higher twinkling tones can bounce off. The layering of the melody helps to highlight the balancing act of the music with light twinkles and deeper beats.
Junoe’s vocals continue the retro vibes of the music with a slightly hazy feeling. His vocals rest like a mist over the melody and get a touch of disco as you head toward the chorus. There is a delightful echoing vibe to the falsetto that pulls you higher over the single in a really pleasant way. The light and cosmic vibes of the music are a wonderful delivery vehicle for the story of the lyrics. Through the lyrics, he tells the tale of having to let go of someone for the good of everyone.
Junoe has you riding synth vibes while bringing the balance of loss and acceptance to your ears in ‘Running Away’. The single brings a touch of cosmic pop to delightful retro vibes for a delicate take on the topic. The light movement of the music lifts your spirit while the vocals hit with an emotional story that is really wonderful.
