Alternative pop duoGood Rzn, with their latest single Running Out Of Time, have managed to craft a sonic tapestry that’s as vibrant as the city’s sunset skyline. This track, the lead single from their debut EP Falling In Slow Motion, is a heady mix of alt-pop with a twist of psychedelic flair, all viewed through a prism of rock and electronic influences.

Running Out Of Time is a kaleidoscopic journey. The bold guitar licks are reminiscent of a classic rock era, yet they meld seamlessly with the wavy synthesisers that transport listeners to a neon-lit dreamscape. And let’s not forget those hard-hitting drums, which provide a rhythmic backbone that’s impossible to resist. But the real magic? Those transcendent vocals that seem to float above the instrumentation are ethereal and grounded all at once.

Lyrically, Good Rzn taps into a universal sentiment. The urgency of chasing dreams, the fleeting nature of time, and the desire to seize the moment. Lines like “Dance in the rain, it’s been too long” and “Don’t play those waiting games” are poignant reminders to live in the present. The chorus, with its repetitive mantra of “I’m running out of time,” is both a lament and a call to action. It’s a sentiment many can relate to, especially in an era where time seems to be moving at warp speed.

The duo’s statement about the song adds another layer of depth. They mention wanting the song to evoke a “sense of urgency to chase your dreams.” And indeed, the energetic synths and bold guitar elements do just that. They create a soundscape that’s both nostalgic and forward-looking, a reminder that while time may be running out, there’s still a chance to make every moment count.

Running Out Of Time is a track that manages to be introspective yet danceable, thoughtful yet fun. Good Rzn has truly outdone themselves with this one, and if this single is any indication, Falling In Slow Motion is set to be an exciting EP. So, if you’re looking for a track that’s both a bop and a thought piece, give this one a spin. You won’t regret it.
