The coveted list has previously included such stars as Lewis Capaldi, Yungblud, Adele, and Billie Eilish. Last month, Runway was among the BBC Sound of 2021 longlist nominees, alongside such artists as Greentea Peng, The Lathums, and Pa Salieu. I hope I have that same kind of impact in the years to come.” I was shook! She just means so much to me her work is still as iconic as it was when I was a kid, and that’s timeless – that’s that icon sh_t. I kept saying, ‘OMG! Missy thee legend, the icon! I almost dropped my laptop. When I got her verse back, tears were literally streaming down my face. With fingers crossed, we sent it over to her hoping she’d like it and she did. She continued, “ ‘ATM’ was always one of those songs that felt incomplete to me, but the lightbulb moment hit us and Missy was definitely the missing piece of the puzzle. It was late, so in my head it had to be an emergency and you damn right it was! He said, ‘Missy Elliott wants to do a record with you.’ I was like, ‘With WHO?’” You can also subscribe to MuuTunes on Apple Music.In a recent interview with Complex, Runway spoke about how her collaboration with the legendary rapper and producer came together. This song is featured on the MuuTunes Spotify playlist. And with any luck (and now a superstar endorsement), “ATM” ought to break the bank very, very soon. That final shot, though? That Grace Jones mouth stretch! This is a creative force to be reckoned with – during a pandemic, no less.Īlthough Bree’s gotten a substantial amount of tastemaker praise and social media love over the years, she’s yet to substantially dent the charts or make major mainstream moves – up until now, anyway. (Truly, the only way to include a m*n in a music video.) Missy also appears virtually, much like her “Levitating” cameo for Dua Lipa, proving that she’s one of quarantine’s most reliable phone-a-legend. On Monday (January 11), Bree dropped the Swarovski diamond-drenched music video for “ATM,” which is a sort of Burlesque-meets-“Lady Marmalade” joyride of long nails, shimmying choreography and ATM-headed men, who mainly serve to sit there and cough up cash for Bree and company. And, of course, a little Missy goes a long way, as the industry vet delivers her best silly British accent and signature brand of hype. How’s that for a co-sign?Ĭo-crafted with LIOHN, Klahr and Fat Max Gsus, “ATM” has all the makings of a smash: an endlessly addictive hook, a deliciously cocky flow (“ Said he wanna take me real higher, but I know he really only want my vagina“), and dance break-ready beats that should likely appeal to the TRL nostalgia crowd. If all the critical praise and lists and general fanfare wasn’t enough of an indication of her One To Watch™-ness, there’s the collection’s lead single: “ATM,” which features none other than Missy Elliott, a partnership that evolved from a Twitter shout-out to a full-on collaboration. (The real world’s been a little, um…distracting the past few months to say the absolute least, so you’re forgiven if the hot new music releases somehow didn’t immediately show up on your radar.) That brings us to her most recent offering: 2000AND4EVA, her wonderfully eclectic and genuinely thrilling debut major label mixtape, which arrived back in November. Or maybe you know her from her remix of Rina Sawayama‘s “XS” last year.Īnd then there’s her already extensive output thus far, from tracks like “Big Racks” with Brooke Candy to “Apeshit” to the exceptional “Damn Daniel” with Yung Baby Tate to “Gucci” with Maliibu Miitch, plus the Kylie, Madonna and Britney-referencing “Little Nokia.” Clearly from all those name drops alone, she is very much Our Kind of People. Perhaps you’ve already heard of the genre-hopping 28-year-old Hackney-bred singer-songwriter-rapper after seeing her name appear on the highly coveted BBC Sound of… longlist for 2021. It’s about time for the general public to invest in Bree Runway.
