Bree Runway Applies The ‘Pressure’ On New Single
The rising British rapper and singer returns with her first new material of the year
Bree Runway has shared her new single “Pressure,” the rapidly-rising singer and rapper’s first new material of the year.
The track is the first in a trilogy of planned releases and was premiered as Clara Amfo’s Hottest Record on BBC Radio earlier tonight (February 7). Before that, the infectious track was previewed at last year’s MOBO Awards when its creator teased a snippet of the song during her blazing “Hot Hot” performance.
“I’ve been away for a second now, but I’m back to apply exactly what the song title says: PRESSURE,” Runway said in a press release. “I love how this song embodies everything I am. It oozes Africa with the rhythm of the drums, the attitude, the assurance, and the fashion. I made this song with nights out in mind. You know when you look so good before you head out, and you hope that you bump into an ex or a hater? Yeah, that’s the mood.”
Last year saw the exciting new artist make her mark on the British music scene and beyond, collecting nominations for Best Female and Video Of The Year at the MOBOs, making it into the final three nominees for the BRITs Rising Star Award and winning fans in global names like Doja Cat and Cardi B. Since emerging in 2020, Runway has also been selected to work with Lady Gaga on her Dawn Of Chromatica remix album and secured a feature from Missy Elliott on her 2020 single “ATM.”
The pop star kicked off 2020 by landing in the NME 100 Class of 2022 and being nominated for two NME Awards – Best New Act in the World and Best New Act from the UK. In March, she will play hotly-anticipated headline shows across the UK, including a gig at London’s Electric Brixton that was upgraded after tickets for the original venue, Heaven, sold out in just a few hours.
