In all of the catchy hooks and choruses that grab the ear’s attention, there were the consistent reminders of our need for Jesus, and our need for dependence on Him, because He is the only One who sustains. All of these things were said in a way that is simply, as the artist’s name says, real.”
NewReleaseTuesday.com shares, “The songs shine as gentle reminders of hope in a hurting world, with every layer of each song saturated by grace,” while Surrender Magazine recently posted their review on Run, stating: “The driving guitars and vocals pulled me right in…the building on these songs are created in a way that slowly but effectively pulls you in, holding your attention so well…Lyrically they are sound, and you can hear so much of their personal lives infused in the songs.”
Run‘s first single, “Promises,” which reassures the listener to reach to God even when it gets difficult to believe in what you cannot see, is currently climbing the charts on both AC and Hot AC. Currentlythe single has jumped to No. 4 at Hot AC and No. 16 on National Audience, is No. 20 at AC Monitored and at No. 17 for AC Indicator. The music video for “Promises” can be viewed here.
