Coldway Releases New Single “Running”

Memphis-born contemporary R&B artist Coldway returns with his latest single, “Running,” a deeply emotional and introspective track that explores the quiet turmoil that often accompanies love. Blending Alternative and Indie R&B influences, the song unfolds as a slow-burning, heartfelt release — soft in delivery, yet heavy in emotional weight.

“Running” exists in the fragile space between attachment and detachment, capturing the moment when two people care deeply for each other but can no longer figure out how to make the relationship work. Coldway leans into this tension with honesty, allowing vulnerability and restraint to coexist throughout the record. His breathy, understated vocal performance masks a profound sadness beneath the surface, revealing the gentle but sobering truth at the heart of the song.

The production is minimal and ambient, wrapping Coldway’s voice in warm, subtle textures that allow every emotion to land with clarity. Lyrically, the track documents the internal conflict of choosing whether to stay and fight for love or walk away to protect oneself. “Running” reflects a universal reality — when love becomes too complicated, people often choose distance over pain.

One of Coldway’s most compelling releases to date, “Running” highlights his strength in pairing emotionally charged storytelling with richly harmonized, modern R&B soundscapes. The song’s quiet moments carry its greatest impact, drawing listeners into an intimate emotional space that feels both personal and familiar. It’s a record that resonates deeply with anyone who has ever watched love slip through their fingers.

Hailing from Memphis, Tennessee, Coldway brings a distinct style shaped by a diverse creative background. As a singer, rapper, and producer of much of his own music, he offers listeners a fully realized artistic vision. His journey has included collaborations with industry heavyweights such as Spike Lee, David Porter, and Drumma Boy, as well as contributions to BMX riding videos for pro rider Nigel Sylvester.

Following the release of his debut solo project Too Much To Drink in 2013 — which led to tour dates with Juicy J — Coldway has shared stages with artists including YG, Dizzy Wright, Curren$y, Wave Chapelle, and Ishdarr. A staple of the Memphis music scene, he has continued to evolve sonically through projects like Gold Cupid, praised for its honest take on relationship realities, and singles such as “Rain” and “That’s My Baby.”

His recent single “Strangers” marked the beginning of a new chapter, amassing nearly 300,000 streams, while hinting at an energetic Southern rap influence woven into his R&B roots. With “Running,” Coldway once again proves his ability to translate complex emotions into music that feels intimate, timeless, and deeply human.
