Eddie Benjamin returns with “RUN!,” the latest single from his highly anticipated debut studio album. The gripping new track arrives alongside an unsettling yet romantic video directed by Mitch deQuilettes (Childish Gambino, shygirl), capturing the emotional unraveling at the heart of the song.

Co-produced with Alex Salibian (Harry Styles), “RUN!” is a groove-soaked, genre-defying work that merges psychedelic R&B with raw, live-wire guitar. The single explores the inner fracture of a relationship on the brink, with Eddie’s scorching vocals at the center: “Why do you run, run, you run away / When our love’s brighter than the sun?”

As with his January release “MANIAC,” Benjamin performs every instrument on the track himself. From its blistering guitar solo to its nuanced percussive rhythm, “RUN!” is both technically striking and emotionally bare.

In Eddie’s own words: “don’t run from your emotions.”

The accompanying video mirrors the track’s themes of disconnection and desire. Set in a sterile high-rise apartment, Benjamin is shown singing to a live camera feed that soon begins to reflect more than just himself—ushering in a haunting narrative twist that captures the song’s tension.

Eddie Benjamin’s ability to fuse virtuosity with vulnerability has already made him a sought-after creative voice, contributing to work by Justin Bieber, WILLOW, and Shawn Mendes. “RUN!” is further proof that he’s crafting a sound and story all his own.

His debut album, expected later in 2025, is shaping up to be a fearless exploration of love, loss, and emotional truth.
