“Running For You” is the sophomore release from Canadian R&B artist, Ruben Young.
Ruben’s moody soul vocals and pop/R&B melodies meet, a huge, funky, future bass drop to bring a fresh sound to the booming Dance-Pop world. “Running For You” is the second single from his upcoming debut record “The Bad Habits EP” – the story of the 7 year forbidden, addictive romance which consumed Ruben’s young adulthood.
“Girl I’m trying to run away, but I’m stuck in your fucking games, I’m in a time warp and I’m, I’m Running For You”
Throughout the vocal journey, Ruben struggles – attempting to break free from the addictive cycle/time-warp his relationship has become. “Running For You” is about the last ditch effort to end the games. To look her in the eye and tell her he can’t do it anymore, and that it’s time to let go. But the moment he sees her, the weakness takes over and he loses again – the cycle re-begins.
“If all along I was just your fool?”
Ruben invites his listener into the vulnerable struggle he faces with self worth, while he continuously chases someone who lets him down time and time again.
His debut single “Take Her Down” reached the top 10 on The Hype Machine (and #1 on their Twitter Chart), as well as #28 on the iTunes Canada Pop Chart. It has been streamed nearly 1 million times cross platform, and earned features from international icons such as Gary Vaynerchuk.
