“RUN!” sees Eddie Benjamin explore emotional turbulence through virtuosic R&B and eerie visuals.
Eddie Benjamin continues to preview his highly anticipated debut album with the release of “RUN!,” a gripping new single out now accompanied by a cinematic video. Following January’s genre-spanning “MANIAC,” this new track delves even deeper into emotional volatility and sonic innovation.
Co-produced with Alex Salibian (Harry Styles), “RUN!” blends psychedelic textures with tight, groove-driven R&B. Benjamin’s impassioned vocal delivery carries the emotional weight of a relationship at its breaking point.
“Why do you run, run, you run away / When our love’s brighter than the sun?” he sings, desperately reaching for connection as it slips away.
Once again, Eddie performs every instrument on the track, channeling both precision and passion into a composition that ends on a howling, storm-like guitar solo.
“Don’t run from your emotions,” he explains simply.
The accompanying video, directed by Mitch deQuilettes (Childish Gambino, shygirl), plays like a surreal short film. In a high-rise apartment, Eddie is seen performing while watching himself on a live TV feed. Soon, another mysterious presence invades the space, and the emotional dissonance of the song takes visual form.
Eddie Benjamin’s ability to weave narrative, emotion, and technical mastery continues to elevate him as one of the most exciting multi-hyphenate artists today. With a debut full-length due later in 2025, “RUN!” solidifies his momentum—and builds anticipation for what’s next.
