Alice Merton Shares 'run away girl (black sands version)' Ahead of Upcoming Tour

Alice Merton is following up her recent release of  "run away girl" (out now via Paper Plane Records International), with a terrific acoustic version, titled “run away girl (black sands version)”.

The stripped-down recording serves to elevate the brooding and introspective songwriting, breaking down the ‘80s pop edge to reveal the vulnerability and moodiness that lie underneath. “run away girl (black sands version)” comes paired with a simple video, featuring Alice and a guitar player singing on a beautiful beach as the waves roll in and out.

“We were lucky enough to find this piece of paradise on the island and decided to film a quick video for the song, as it fit the feeling perfectly." she says. "This spot really reminded us to take things step by step in life, and enjoy the beauty that surrounds us. Sometimes it pays off to run away somewhere different that opens up our eyes and lets us appreciate the world and all its beautiful wonders, rather than focus on every day problems."

Alice Merton's career highlights to date include achieving Top 10 chart positions across Europe, US Gold, and multiple Platinum awards in Europe. Her two studio albums (MINT and S.I.D.E.S.) have seen over one billion streams and three million sales. Additionally, she has performed on TV shows like NBC's Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, The Late Late Show with James Corden, or ABC's Late Night Show Jimmy Kimmel Live!
