What happens when you’re tired of running?
If you’re looking for a rising artist to invest in—both emotionally and musically—Thoughty is one you should definitely keep your eyes (and ears) on. The Austria-based singer, songwriter, and producer has a sound that’s just as expansive as his passion for music. Known for genre-bending songs and a subtle yet undeniable jazz influence, Thoughty continues to prove that he’s a creative force with something to say. His latest single, “RUNNING OUTTA LOVE,” adds another strong entry to his growing catalog.
Following past standouts like “OUTTA MY HEAD” and “SAVE ME,” Thoughty’s newest release explores the emotional aftermath of a breakup. In “RUNNING OUTTA LOVE,” he unpacks the lingering pain of separation, from the mundane daily moments haunted by memories to the internal tug-of-war that comes with trying to let go. But rather than soak the track in sadness, Thoughty skillfully pairs those themes with an upbeat, genre-fusing production that makes you want to move while you reflect.
The brilliance lies in the contrast. While the lyrics are vulnerable and raw, the instrumentation and melodies feel lively and infectious. Thoughty’s vocals are dynamic throughout, riding the production with range, emotion, and charisma. It’s a unique blend that turns personal turmoil into something unexpectedly cathartic and sonically satisfying.
“RUNNING OUTTA LOVE” is more than just a breakup anthem—it’s proof that Thoughty knows how to craft music that’s not only relatable, but also incredibly entertaining.
