Ukrainian-born, now US-based artist Vi Talli makes a striking statement with her new single Running, via soundPUPPY. The track is a powerful next step in the rollout of her debut album, No Time For Perfection, following the breakout energy of You Don’t Know Me.
Running is built around a sense of forward motion, both musically and emotionally. Uplifting yet grounded, it captures the moment when staying in one place is no longer an option, and choosing oneself means embracing change. The production balances clarity and warmth, allowing Vi’s emotive voice to drive the story while the instrumentation supports the song’s momentum without ever overwhelming it.
Vi’s life experience informs every note. Forced to flee Ukraine in 2022 during the Russian invasion, she transformed displacement and hardship into creative fuel, performing across France and eventually moving to the United States to immerse herself in the American music scene. That journey of resilience, adaptation, and self-discovery resonates throughout Running, making it both intimate and universal.
The song highlights Vi’s ability to blend personal narrative with accessible, modern pop sensibilities. It’s a track about courage, growth, and the small but decisive steps that shape a life in motion. With Running, Vi Talli continues to establish herself as a distinctive voice, an artist capable of turning adversity into music that inspires, empowers, and connects.
