Karl Zine Shares New Single ‘Outrun’

Karl Zine, producer, songwriter and one half of successful alt-pop duo RINNGS, has just shared his brand new single Outrun, out now via Wow & Flutter Records.

The second single to be taken from his upcoming debut album, Outrun is a captivating indie-electronic song set in the middle of a painful break-up where one person has outgrown the other. This relatable storytelling is wrapped around a warm and intimate production packed with delicate piano keys, steady percussion and the languidly beating heart of a deep bass line. What I love the most about this song is Kar Zine's passionate vocal delivery packed with raw emotion, instantly connecting his honest and heartfelt lyrics with the listener. Check it out below!

Speaking about the song, Karl Zine said,

This track started, like a lot of my songs, with a title. Outrun was the name of a video game popular in the late 80’s, where you played a Californian, driving his red Ferrari (complete with Blonde female passenger) along infinite palm-lined highways in search of the ever-elusive Hi-Score.

The game felt like a fitting metaphor for a relationship with someone that you think is pretty much perfect; the chasing of highs, the lack of a horizon, the sudden appearance of trees and obstacles which could end the race at any moment, the increasing difficulty of trying to stay on the road without ever crashing etc. This song is set in the middle of a painful break-up where one person has outgrown the other. I wanted to capture a sense of helplessness, the flashbacks of tiny details, the struggle for acceptance and finally, the point at which you are out of lives, can’t run away anymore and have to turn and face your demons.
