Randy Beth – Run (2021)
While we all have a desire to be loved, there are many people who go about finding the love they need in all the wrong places. This search for love in dangerous and self-sabotaging places forms the foundation of ‘Run’, the RnB and pop fusion single from Randy Beth. Her soulful vocals weave a powerful tale of danger, love and heartache.
Following on from her wonderful folk-pop debut, this single showcases the versatility of her musicality and lets us all know that she has a lot to offer. After years of performing other people’s words on the stage, Beth is hitting out with her own stories and they are undeniably captivating. From overcoming childhood trauma in her debut single, to the depths of a search for affection in this single, she paints the soundscape with rich musical colours.
The opening tones of ‘Run’ bring a neon RnB feeling to the melody. There is a late-night feel to the music that gains richness and depth as the beats come in. The clicking upper tones add a seduction to the music. The smooth flow of the melody is delightfully soulful, but there is something sad that floats through the notes. This is a very light sad feeling that has the potential to overtake the overall smoothness of the music. As the single progresses, the melody merges RnB tones with an indie-pop flow for a melody that wavers through your senses.
While the melody creates an encompassing soundscape, it is Beth’s soulful vocals that really make the single. Her performance has the lightest touch of sighing with happiness to the flow of potential heartbreak. Through the lyrics, you are drawn into the search for love that takes you through dangerous experiences. While there is a connection woven into the single, this is tempered with the understanding that it is not the best. The chorus tugs at your heart and really pulls on your emotions as you feel the pull of looking for love, only to come up empty. While the lyrics have a wonderful movement and structure, Beth’s performance gives it the life it needs to play with your emotions.
Randy Beth uses soulful vocals and smooth melodics to draw you into the tale of searching for love in dangerous and self-sabotaging places in ‘Run’. The melody has a twilight touch that intertwines with the fusion of RnB and pop flows. Beth’s vocals are powerful in their soulful delivery and emotive push.
