Toronto-based singer-songwriter Jeremy Voltz unveiled his highly anticipated third studio album, “Running Away,” to the world on September 29, 2023. Comprising a total of ten tracks, each meticulously crafted, the album stands as a testament to Voltz’s artistic evolution. Collaborating closely with producer Oliver Charles, Voltz seamlessly weaves together elements of indie-soul with Charles’ signature gritty pop production.
The eponymous title track, “Running Away,” serves as a poignant exploration of the human condition, inspired by personal encounters. Voltz masterfully combines acoustic guitar melodies, cinematic strings, and a compelling rhythm section to create an immersive sonic landscape. The accompanying music video, directed by Voltz himself and featuring acclaimed talent Gabriella Laberge, further enriches the narrative.
“Running Away” marks a convergence of two distinct musical worlds, skillfully melding Voltz’s soulful sensibilities with Charles’ dynamic production techniques. The result is a collection of songs characterized by haunting harmonies, evocative lyricism, and virtuosic vocal performances.
Reflecting on the album’s thematic depth, Voltz shares, “This project encapsulates the pinnacle of my creative journey. ‘Running Away’ delves into themes of courage and vulnerability, both introspectively and within the realm of human connections.” With each track offering a glimpse into Voltz’s innermost thoughts and emotions, the album resonates with listeners on a profound level, inviting them to embark on a transformative musical voyage.
