New York, NY (Top40 Charts) After dropping a string of mellifluous singles that have amassed over 12 billion combined global streams - including the 2x Platinum "ily (i love you baby)" featuring Emilee - Surf Mesa will release his first EP, Come True, later this fall via Astralwerks.
Today, he shared his new single, "Run" Feat.
Griff Clawson, which will appear on the EP. His voice filled with emotion, Clawson contemplates the impulse to "run from the good ones" while the music bobs with irresistible momentum and optimism. The two young artists wrote the song with Nick Henriques (Tiësto, Galantis).
"The track 'Run' off my upcoming EP Come True is one of my favorites," Surf Mesa says. "I've been diligently working on this unreleased track, and it's been a deeply personal project for me. I'm excited to share it with you. This song represents a significant chapter in my musical journey, and I believe it will resonate with you in a profound way."
Surf is currently on the road, playing a series of North American headline shows. He'll also be joining The Chainsmokers, Two
Friends and DJ Press Play at "The Party Never Ends" at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, CA on October 28, and heading to Cabo San
Lucas for Tiësto: Chasing Sunsets 2023 in November. See below for itinerary. Tickets are available now.
Praising "First Time," Surf's recent collaboration with London-based singer-songwriter Stevie Appleton, Dancing Astronaut said, "The warm, sun-kissed number that evokes the first sip of a piña colada is suited for top-down drives in the summer, speakers sat atop striped beach towels, and all of the bliss in between."
Popdust hailed the track as "classic Surf Mesa- chill, instilling within you some sort of wanderlust to be wherever the water is and the drinks are." Rolling Stone placed "Manzanita," Surf's previous single, on its list of "All The Songs You Need To Know This Week'" and Billboard said it marked some of Surf's "best work to date," characterizing the vibe as "If trance and tech-house had a baby in Ibiza."
With his first EP on the verge of release and a quickly filling calendar, it would be easy for anyone to get lost in the hectic traveling, soaring expectations and bruising beats. But Surf knows precisely what he's doing, and it grounds him every step of the way. "The goal is to make dance music feel the way I first heard it," he says. "The way I first fell in love." Considering this heartfelt conviction, in a way, every track he releases is a love song.
