Runaway 03:22
She's just seventeen A killer queen She's on the town With no care around Her mama said never walk with the dark When you flirt with the fire With the flirt with the law She's out chasing dreams Of silver screens She's stealing scenes Of the make believe And now she's under the thumb of the gun When the futures at stake When she's living for fun Don't be another fool Out dancing where the fever rules Living fast, you gotta keep your cool She's here to stay She's a runaway She's now 21 Out on the run Not a moment to lose Not another excuse There is a sadness that speaks from the eyes There's a madness an evil she keeps in disguise A gaze cold as ice From the years of vice They tell the tale Of a love gone stale Spending her nights in the thrill of the chase To escape from the pain of a world gone insane.

Strong 03:47
So I’m heading down on Sunset As the stars begin to fade And the street lights start to flicker As the sun's reborn today I swear I had the strangest dream We were dancing on these streets You had your Ray Bans on and me, I just kept moving my feet Baby we’re strong In the rising light We can belong It’ll be alright, alright There’s not much I can remember But I know it was insane All the walls had disappeared And I wondered where they went I swear I had the strangest dream We were dancing on these streets You had your Ray Bans on and me, I just kept moving my feet Baby we’re strong In the rising light We can belong It’ll be alright, alright

Time can never mend The careless whisper of a good friend To the heart and mind If your answer's kind There's no comfort in the truth Pain is all you'll find I should have known better, yeah I feel so unsure As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor As the music dies Something in your eyes Calls to mind a silver screen And all its sad goodbyes I'm never gonna dance again Guilty feet have got no rhythm Though it's easy to pretend I know you're not a fool I should have known better than to cheat a friend And waste a chance that I'd been given So I'm never gonna dance again The way I danced with you Time can never mend The careless whisper of a good friend To the heart and mind If your answer's kind There's no comfort in the truth Pain is all you'll find I'm never gonna dance again Guilty feet have got no rhythm Though it's easy to pretend I know you're not a fool I should have known better than to cheat a friend And waste a chance that I'd been given So I'm never gonna dance again The way I danced with you Never without your love What am I without your love? Tonight the music seems so loud I wish that we could lose this crowd Maybe it's better this way We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say We could have been so good together, We could have lived this dance forever But now, who's gonna dance with me? Please stay I'm never gonna dance again Guilty feet have got no rhythm Though it's easy to pretend I know you're not a fool I should have known better than to cheat a friend And waste a chance that I'd been given So I'm never gonna dance again The way I danced with you Now that you're gone Now that you're gone Now that you're gone What I did that was so wrong? So wrong that you had to leave me alone?

about

Power Rob brings a distinct, stadium rock quality at the genre of synthwave with his refreshing approach. Some of the most powerful vocals the genre has seen in a long time.
Taking cue from the rock-pop of the 80's, the EP starts with an epic synth riff and driving guitars in the form of 'Runaway'. A song about teen freedom and taking risks that wouldn't feel out of place next to Michael Jackson or even Def Leppard.
The second cut, 'Strong' continues this theme of empowerment but this time is with someone else. The need to connect and be strong together that's very fitting for our time.
To close the EP, Power Rob has chosen to honour one of his heroes, the late George Michael. Produced by Ends 84, The cover infuses the classic 'Careless Whisper' with a synthwave aesthetics. The result is as evocative as the original and updates the production to the retro-futuristic taste of 2020.
For Power Rob, it's all about electricity and potency. From smooth ballads to heart pumping anthems, the Runaway EP will leave you itching to hear more.
