LOVE’S LATEST NEWS, an EP by speedrun.
in the middle of covid lockdowns, i found myself consumed by depression and lack of direction (very much “the graduate”). i picked up the electric guitar and bass as a hobby — something to keep myself busy during an otherwise confusing and isolating time. three years, a few tiktoks, and one EP later, what began as a little distraction is now the essence of who i am.
this record is about love, in all its iterations and forms, everywhere it has shown up in my life and all the spaces in between. it’s my personal hero’s journey — encapsulating love as both a call to action and an exodus, the adventure and the path back home.
purpose, in its most beautiful form, chiming in my head like loose change. speedrun is the product of so much i want to do, so much i want to say. & the opportunity to present that to the world is a privilege that i will cherish my whole life.
thank you to my producer
@frank_corr , who initially found me on tiktok and introduced me to this tender world of making music, encouraging me and supporting me every step of the way. thank you to
@gordonraphael , who followed suit and became an architect of my childhood dream. thank you to my family, my friends, my loved ones — all best parts of me are an amalgam of you.
and the greatest thing is? it’s all just the beginning.
welcome to the Speedrun Age. :)
love,
nina, AKA speedrun
