Fresh off the successful releases of the last two “Babylon A.D.” albums (‘Rome Wasn’t Built In A Day’ & ‘When The World Stops’), Derek Davis brings his creative energy to life with his solo project, penning a brand new explosive up-tempo rocker, 'Running Man'.
The funk driven, hard-hitting rock/metal track delivers the angst and vocal delivery for which he is known. Both lyrically and musically, the track speaks to the frustration and passion of the forgotten man in today’s ever changing world. The AI evolution and political divide that shapes our thoughts and lives are explored through his cinematic story telling.
“Running Man” is a rock anthem at its core, with an uptempo fist pounding funkifed bass line and searing guitar riffs, the hooks never stop. Davis’s exploration of combining Hard Rock, old school R&B and Funk is awe inspiring and leaves the listener wanting more. Having played all the instruments, mixing and producing the track, as well as editing and creating the accompanying video, he once again proves to be a visionary force in the music industry. Derek Davis is a multi-talented performer, singer, songwriter, musician and producer who delivers it all with 'Running Man'!
