Wrapped in lush R&B goodness and introspective, relatable lyricism, ‘Runaway’ marks Yoni’s latest effort, out today via TRASH. Hailing from Sacramento, the talented creative embraces a heartwarming and sultry brand of soulful charisma, borrowing from traditional R&B while hinting at elegant neo-soul and modern production. Yoni’s three-dimensional, cathartic vocals seal the deal for us, with their malleable, slow-paced melodies and hidden emotional release.
Following up on previous effort ‘MADE4IT’, ‘Runaway’ celebrates a period of intense creative commitment for the Eritrean songwriter. Now calling California his home, the gifted creative has been on an intense release schedule this year, a schedule that’s perhaps facilitated by how good his music actually is. Steeped in personal experience, ‘Runaway’ offers a curated, nocturne listening experience, yet one that’s bubbly and playful.
Delving deeper into the single, Yoni explains: “It dives into the push and pull of a toxic relationship about arguing, making up and breaking down, set over chill grooves, guitar layers, and honest storytelling.” As anything romantically-driven, we suspect that ‘Runaway’ will connect with a large audience out there, perhaps stirring up forgotten memories and unresolved lust. There’s more to come from Yoni – stay tuned.
