Southern California-based singer, songwriter, instrumentalist and producer VENUS releases her new single “Run Away” today, June 14. The reflective tender ballad, “a glittery ode to the woes of timing” as Venus sees it, offers a glimpse of what’s to come on Venus’ forthcoming EP due out later this summer, which is being composed entirely by Venus herself.
“Run Away” follows a pair of singles released late last year including “If (This is Love),” which had Sweety High raving “…with just one track, her dreamy and evocative vocals have us completely transfixed…we cannot wait to hear what else it has to offer” and “Things Change” which Los Angeles’ KCRW highlighted as a “Today’s Top Tune” (here). “Things Change” was also recognized by Ones To Watch who wrote: “It’s difficult not to be transported by the beauty of the song. The luscious vocals and calming tempo create an ethereal vibe check that feels like you are in the presence of a goddess, reassuring you lyrically and spiritually. While we can’t fight the momentum of time passing, one thing you can change is giving this artist a listen and enjoy the best sonic fortune coming from Fontana in some time.”
Following years of self-discovery, refining her sound, and a collaborative EP release with her group Ahmore which was publicly recognized by Uproxx “Best New R&B,” Fusicology and more, Venus is embarking on a new chapter. Drawing inspiration from her vastly diverse musical tastes, Venus writes, records, and produces within the walls of her home. She has a soft spot for writing soothing, infectious music and relatable narratives. A singer, songwriter, instrumentalist and producer, she combines these strengths into an undeniable dreamlike fusion of indie/alternative, pop, and new wave. For Venus, music is meant to be a “soundtrack to the stories of our lives.”
