“Run to You” is the latest from NYC artist Julia Anrather, impressing earlier this year with the infectious “Dorothy.” Featuring mellow guitars and a grooving bass line to start, “Run to You” begins with feelings of artistic inspiration: “I’ve been sleeping with my guitar / Can you hear it? When I wake up, Got a song made.” The track launches into a gripping hook prior to the one-minute mark, with higher-pitched vocals, dashes of keys, and twangy guitars forming a melodic success. The guitar solo approaching the three-minute mark adds a scorching, concluding delight. “Run to You” is another thorough success from Julia Anrather.
“When I wrote “Run to You”, a lot was changing around me but I hadn’t really caught up yet,” Anrather says. “It’s about breaking up with myself, trying to clear the space I needed to have a bigger life. I got to work with Sarah Tudzin (Porches, Weyes Blood) on the mix which was really great. She pushed it into a bigger, pop-ier place than I’d have while leaving room for the intimacy and grit that keeps it grounded in reality.”
