Setting the tone with an immersive pop rock soundscape featuring guitars, drums and a bell toll, Cicci Landén opens her single, Need to Run with the assertive lyrics, “This game is getting tired, too tired for me to play…”
As the song expands, we experience lyrical themes of freedom, independence, self-understanding and boundaries as Cicci Landén sings, “I’m not broken, I just Need to Run…”
We love the passion and wisdom that Cicci sings with, cohesively fused with a luscious guitar-driven soundscape that features empowering lyricism and an iconic series of guitar solos.
Produced by Amir Aly, Need To Run is a summary of Cicci‘s feelings around the last two years. How everything fell apart but how the glow, her will and passion for the music and life itself has kept her going.
Cicci Landén is a singer, musician and songwriter from the south of Sweden, who makes music in the Americana genre – her sound is a mix of country, blues and singer-songwriter with lots of soul. The common theme in her songs is personal storytelling and beautiful melodies complemented by her expressive voice.
She has previously released two albums, an EP and various singles and in 2021 she released a series of singles including Over Again, as well as a beautiful cover of John Hiatt’s Have A Little Faith In Me.
We are obsessed with Need To Run and have added it to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream Cicci Landén‘s wider discography.
