Blurring the lines between orchestral composition and modern beats, Johan Lenox teams up with rising talent Quadeca on 'Running Running Running', the latest glimpse of his ambitious new album, Full Speed Nowhere.
Johan Lenox is rising through the ranks and you need to be taking him in. Taking sonic components of the classical genre, the composer, producer and artist’s new album Full Speed Nowhere takes you on a journey of orchestral symphonies with a contemporary spin. A crucial single amongst the LP’s tracklist is ‘Running Running Running’, highlighting Johan’s boundary-pushing flair and paving his way within the genre.
The single’s striking synth envelopes his vocals, as the track gradually works up to the beat, accentuating the heavy atmosphere. Featuring the rap artist Quadeca, it’s the first of many star-studded collaborations on the LP that boasts names such as 070 Shake, Master Peace, Ale Araya and Kaycyy.
His innovative sound has landed him a spot on the score of The Plague, a new, Charli xcx commended film that premiered at Cannes Festival, as well as a tour supporting 070 Shake that changed the way his fans heard his music. From his musical endeavours to his adventures with cinema, Johan is holding the torch for classically driven, contemporary music artists.
