R3HAB and Now United Go On a Worldly Dance-Pop Journey through AlUla to Celebrate Music on Their New Single “Run Till Dark”
R3HAB and Now United once again team up in the studio for their new dance-pop single “Run Till Dark,” out now via Liquid State. With the veteran producer’s chameleon-esque prowess when it comes to mastering different styles of music, R3HAB fuses breezy melodies and a soft, undulating bassline to bring a worldly, organic feeling to this euphonious song. Now United‘s 18 international artists represent many different cultures and aspects of the world, which they bring to “Run Till Dark“‘s emotive and hopeful lyrics. Filmed in northwest Saudi Arabia‘s ancient city of AlUla, the accompanying music video tells a story of R3HAB on a pilgrimage for the source of a song, and after journeying all day, has an incredible celebration of music with Now United. No matter if you’re a fan of electronic or softer styles, “Run Till Dark” is truly a feel-good gem, following R3HAB‘s collaboration with Afrojack “Shockwave,” and on the flip side, Now United‘s most recent “Forever United Tour” which saw the global pop group performing at legendary venues in São Paulo, Brazil (Allianz Parque Stadium), and Lisbon, Portugal (Altice Arena). In the past, R3HAB has also produced and written the following hit singles for Now United – “Jump” (over 57M views on Youtube) and “One Love” (54M views).
“I have always been a huge fan of how Now United represents so many cultures in harmony, so I’m beyond excited to join forces again for our new single ‘Run Till Dark‘ because their vibrant pop energy pairs naturally with my vision of dance-pop. In “Run Till Dark,” we tap into the unique musical pulse the world has to offer, which we captured in our new music video shot in the mesmerizing oases of Alula. Our hope is that listeners realize we’re all running to the same pulse and, in this moment, feel how connected we are.” – R3HAB
