Apollo Lovely is the musical brainchild of Vietnamese-Irish-American Kim Ho. His music has an upbeat and sultry swagger that is perhaps a reflection of Kim’s newfound confidence and freedom as an independent artist. Today we feature is latest track titled ‘Runaway’. The artist shares, ‘I was feeling stuck at a point in my life when I met someone who inspired me to write “Runaway.” I found the courage to run away from all the stories and games that others seemed to be pressuring me with, and discovered my renewed desire to follow my dreams’.
“Runaway” is from Apollo Lovely’s eponymous LP. The artist hopes listeners draw from the album that love is the most powerful force during our time on earth — not only the love we have for others, the people that move in and out of our lives, but also the love for ourselves and our dreams.
Explaining the origins of the track further, he shares, ‘ I was trying to elicit the feeling of breaking out of a mold built from expectations by our peers, parents, society, and most importantly the mold that we construct for ourselves. Achieving the feeling of breaking free from these constraints and to serve out creative light, is to be happy and truly be free’.
The music video, directed by Stéphanie Biron Weber, features a class of young gymnasts highlighting the freedom and possibility that we have when we are young; the flexibility and opportunities we possess before the constraints of adulthood are imposed. The message delivered is, that we must reconnect with our childhood selves, and use that curiosity and flexibility to guide us towards a creative and rewarding life.
