‘Running’ is an exceptional new single from New York City-based singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer TJ Viola. Trained in both classical and jazz music, the talented artist brings all of his experience to his latest offering – a jazzy, poppy, funky, and soulful number that oozes infectious energy and charm.
With thick harmonies and lush instrumentation, TJ describes ‘Running’ as “one of my favourite tracks I’ve ever written,”, and we couldn’t agree more! Full of nostalgia and colour, it’s a timeless piece of music that I have no doubt will find its way onto many playlists and be remembered as a classic.
A tune that deals with loneliness and fear, ‘Running’ hones in on the overwhelming feelings of falling for someone. “The obsession causes you to think about that person constantly,” Viola says. “Almost as if they are running through your mind”.
Inspired by the likes of Michael Jackson, Bruno Mars, Jaco Pastorius, and Dirty Loops, TJ Viola is one of the most accomplished musicians I’ve come across in some time. And, with just four songs to his name, there’s surely a lot more to come from him very soon!
