Alex Runions is back with his latest single ‘On an Island’. It’s his first release in two years, and he returns to the scene with his emotionally charged brand of Americana-pop music.
Alex Runions – On an Island
Since releasing ‘I’ll Do The Driving’ back in 2022, Runions has celebrated recent shifts in his personal life, seeing him become a father and a husband. Back for 2024, he is starting right where he left off – as an unformidable force in the country game.
Starting with a gentle acoustic rhythm and soft vocal, ‘On An Island’ wastes no time in painting an emphatic image. Brimming with storytelling and emotion, Runions showcases his sensational ability to craft gripping tales of love and loss. Propelled by a solid backbeat, the golden tremolo launches the single into the heady heights of its chorus.
Written alongside producer Chris Burke-Gaffney, the single explores the entrancing nature of relationships and how they may start to drift apart. Speaking about the release, Runions explains, “Relationships can start off being beautiful and fulfilling, before evolving into growing emotional distance despite the semblance of intimacy. As co-writers, Chris and I wanted to look at what that sense of isolation feels like when – despite your best intentions – you’re floating further away from the person you love.”
It’s sensational to hear an artist of Alex Runions calibre back doing what he does best. The town he was raised in, Kipling Saskatchewan, has even raised a billboard in his honour. ‘On An Island’ is a sensational tale of love and loss, complete with silky melodies and formidable lyrics.
