Independent singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and live-looping artist Kethan has officially released his latest single, “Running.” Distributed globally via ONErpm, the track offers a soulful, introspective look into emotional openness and the quiet strength found in genuine human connection.
A prominent force in East Africa’s vibrant independent music movement, Kethan has carved out a reputation for weaving contemporary R&B, Soul, Jazz, and Afro-fusion into rich, immersive soundscapes. On “Running,” he turns his artistic lens toward the solace of romantic partnership, capturing the experience of finding a sanctuary in someone who makes life’s weight feel manageable.
Rather than framing romance around pressure or turmoil, “Running” explores the relief of letting one’s guard down. Lyrically, the song follows the journey of dismantling internal walls and returning to a partner who provides safety, grounding, and steady reassurance. Kethan interprets the act of “running back” not as a desperate pursuit, but as a deliberate expression of trust and emotional alignment.
Rich with organic instrumentation and warm vocal textures, “Running” delivers a gentle reflection on vulnerability, celebrating the rare connections that bring peace when the outside world feels overwhelming.
“Running” is out now and available across all major digital streaming platforms via ONErpm.
