If you’re still searching for your next summer anthem, look no further than The Chain Gang of 1974’s remix of Prounoun’s (Alyse Vellturo) hit song “Run”.
In regards to how the collaboration came about, Pronoun says: “When scrolling through my Discover Weekly I stumbled upon “Stoned, and Alone” by Teenage Wrist as well as “I Still Wonder” by Chain Gang of 1974. I save all my favorites and share on my socials, tagging the artists when I really dig something. Teenage Wrist responded instantly saying they were fans of my music as well. Me and Kamtin, the singer, got to talking about our projects and he mentioned he had a solo project called Chain Gang of 1974 and my jaw dropped. What are the odds that both of his projects, living in very different genres, not only connected with me but were on the my Discover Weekly the same week! Anyway, Kamtin said he had been loving “run” and the rest is history!”
Kamtin, a.k.a Chain Gang of 1974, continues, “I was very pleased to be asked by Alyse to remix one of her songs. I had become a fan of her music months prior to building an online friendship with her. When the opportunity presented itself, I jumped on “run.” The original is my favorite track of hers, so I wanted to do it justice. I felt the need to completely transform the shape of the song by giving it this electronic and cinematic makeover.”
“Run” was first featured on Pronoun’s debut album I’ll Show You Stronger this May. This remix stays true to her post-punk style, while adding an 80’s nu-wave aesthetic to the track. It’s the perfect song to blast while driving down the highway with your friends with the windows down, or even dancing alone in your room in the middle of the night. It’s shimmery, magical, and incredibly fun.
Coming off her tour with Aaron West and The Roaring Twenties (which we covered here) only a month ago, Pronoun’s jumping right back into it tomorrow. You can catch her on the road this summer with acts like Taking Back Sunday and Real Friends.
