Alex Runo’s new EP, Living and Breathing, is a deep dive into the highs and lows of human emotion. With a soulful voice that demands attention, Alex captivates listeners from start to finish. This record delivers a powerhouse performance, stellar production, and an emotional journey that resonates with every note.
While each song shines in its own way, two tracks stand out as defining moments on the EP. The title track, Living and Breathing, is a masterclass in pop balladry. A bright, intricate piano line weaves through the song, setting the stage for Alex’s soaring vocals, which drip with raw emotion. The melodies are irresistibly catchy yet take unexpected turns, adding depth and maturity to the songwriting. The lyrics of love and heartbreak strike a universal chord, building to an explosive climax where Alex pours his soul into the mic. It’s intimate, it’s electrifying, it’s the mark of a true artist.
Another standout track is Paper Love. Haunting and intense, this song unfolds in a minor key, opening with delicate piano and ambient synths that set an almost cinematic mood. The atmosphere is thick with emotion, but when Alex’s voice enters, it’s absolutely breathtaking. The synth textures create a hypnotic pull, amplifying the ache in his vocals as he delivers the devastating line: “Nothing left to sing about but paper love.” Every note carries a weight of longing, making this song an unforgettable moment on the record.
With Living and Breathing, Alex Runo doesn’t just sing, he makes you feel. This is an EP that lingers long after the final note fades.
