There’s something unique about starting over; leaving one’s past behind and sparking a new era of artistic inspiration. J Saint James is certainly familiar with such a process. Formerly known as Jordan James, the talented British vocalist has risen to national recognition yet again, this time under a new moniker and a highly meaningful ethos. ‘The Running Man’ is the perfect evidence of that, a soulful, anthemic piece steeped in deep renewal and heartfelt resilience.
Crowning it all, we find James’ nuanced, soothing vocals with their malleable, relatable tone. It’s the perfect match for the record’s orchestral, cinematic contour and its epic allure. Having gained the attention of global tastemakers in his longstanding career (such as Billboard Magazine, among others), we believe that J Saint James belongs in the music world. It’s time for his wonderful vocals to be heard far and loud again.
Delving deeper into the piece, the British creative explains: “‘The Running Man’ came from a very personal place. I wrote it during a time when I was constantly moving physically, emotionally, and creatively, never quite able to settle. The song captures that feeling of wanting love and stability, but also being haunted by the instinct to run. It’s soulful, cinematic, and honest; every lyric feels like a confession. For me, this track marks both a return and a rebirth.”
