Manchester R&B star Pip Millett's back with a lightning bolt of a track. "Running" sees her team up with Plaistow king Ghetts to stand defiant in the face of what she describes as "the tiresome reality of being Black / a POC in an unequal, white, western world."

The track was written and recorded during the pandemic with the murder of George Floyd and the subsequent BLM protests looming large in the singer's mind. A deeply soulful number licked with jazzy flourishes, Millett's voice is smoky and understated, but still devastatingly powerful.Black and free, I don't think that's a thing, she laments before Ghetts steps in with a sobering reminder of the daily dangers of being Black.

"Running" also comes with some striking visuals from director KC Locke, who places the pair in an ornate, palatial setting as they lay out the Black experience in the 21st century surrounded by the haunting vestiges of empire.
