“Runnin’ For You” by Phillip Brandon – Smooth Jazz Magic That Hits the Sweet Spot

Out August 23 – pre save now: “Runnin’ For You” (ffm.to)

From the moment the music starts, you know you’re in the hands of a master. The groove is laid-back, but there’s this underlying pulse that keeps you hooked—classic smooth jazz, but with a fresh twist that makes it feel brand new. The tempo might clock in around 80-100 BPM, but it’s all about that effortless flow, the kind of rhythm that makes you want to close your eyes and just let go

It’s like George Benson met Al Jarreau, and they decided to create something for the here and now.

Now, let’s talk vocals—because, wow, they’re something else. The voice on this track is pure gold—rich, warm, and dripping with emotion. It’s the kind of voice that doesn’t just sing to you; it speaks to your soul. If you’re into the smooth stylings of artists like Benson or Jarreau, you’re going to fall in love with this one.

But here’s the kicker—the lyrics. They’re not just words; they’re a declaration. “When you see me Runnin’ in the sand, I’m just trying to be a better man…” You can feel the sincerity in every line. This isn’t just about being better; it’s about being better for someone else. “I will go running for you” isn’t just a promise—it’s a pledge, a vow to be there through thick and thin. And the way it’s delivered? It hits you right in the heart, making you feel every ounce of that devotion.

The instrumentation is spot on. The bass and drums create a groove that’s steady and sure, grounding the track while the electric guitar and piano add layers of sophistication and nuance. And those synth touches? Just the right amount of modern flair to keep things interesting, without overshadowing the classic smooth jazz feel. If you’re into artists like Boney James or Norman Brown, this track is going to feel like it was made just for you.
