After two-year hiatus, Runtown returns with ‘Flow’

After two years of absolute silence, AfroBeats sensation Douglas Agu, popularly known as ’Runtown, ’ returns with ‘Flow’, unleashing his musical prowess.

‘Flow’ is Runtown’s latest and only single since his 2022 album ‘Signs’.

His new single, ‘Flow,’ maintains his favourite signature of being “laid-back’’ yet relevant, which has shaped and sharpened his career.

Known for breaking the rules, creating and setting a new pace, ‘Flow’ embodies excellence, class and style and is best described as a rebirth of the Runtwon fans who know and have missed.

It also reveals that he was working and improving on his craft through the years of silence.

The song addresses the tension between staying focused on your goals and being pulled in different directions. He delivers valuable lessons on keeping calm and focused, even when life throws distractions.

On the track, he delivers some punch lines like “flows flowing like water” while lamenting the emotional weight of dealing with a relationship that’s slipping away.

The song is quite catchy, and the listener would see him nod his head and tap his foot in a syncing pattern to the rhythm.

Runtown has maintained an artistic, independent approach to his music and career. It has allowed him to fearlessly try new things while staying true to his ‘laid-back’ self.

His sound reflects personal experiences – from the bustling-hustling sounds of Lagos streets to travels and capture of the beauties that pop between.
