Sari Schorr reveals title track from new album

New York singer-songwriter Sari Schorr has released “Running Wild,” the title track from her upcoming album. Running Wild will be released October 9 in Europe and October 30 in the U.S. via Provogue Records / Artone Label Group.

The new song is the second single from the album, following “Mr. In The Middle.” Schorr will support the record with an extensive European tour featuring 46 appearances, beginning September 29 at The Lexington in London.

“‘Running Wild’ is about the tension between desire and control — wanting someone intensely without trying to contain them. Passion needs freedom to stay alive; hold it too tightly, and you risk suffocating the very thing that drew you in. The song asks how much compromise love can survive before we lose the very thing that makes it exciting in the first place,” Schorr says.

The song arrives with a new music video created with videographer Kee Koo. Schorr says an earlier version of the video was scrapped before she and Koo took a different approach to capturing the themes of the song.

“The first version of the ‘Running Wild’ video never made it out of the gate. For the second shoot, I worked with Kee Koo, a fabulous videographer, and we approached it completely differently,” she explains. “Instead of trying to tell the story too literally, we wanted to capture the feeling of ‘Running Wild’ — desire, freedom, danger and that irresistible pull towards someone you know you may never be able to hold on to. We chased the atmosphere more than perfection. A lot of what happened on camera wasn’t overly planned. We played with movement, looks, little moments, light and instinct. Some of my favourite shots came from just letting the camera roll and seeing what happened.”

“Running Wild” also played an important role in shaping the direction of Schorr’s new album. It was the first song written for the project and helped establish the creative momentum that carried through the rest of the recording process.

“I was in an intensely prolific period when we began writing the album,” she says. “‘Running Wild’ was the first song we wrote, and it struck the match for everything that followed. There was an electricity in the studio, a sense that we had opened a door and had to follow wherever it led. I’m incredibly proud of what we created and deeply fortunate to have made it with musicians who brought such passion and imagination to every song.”

Running Wild explores themes of self-discovery, resilience, transformation and artistic freedom. Schorr says the album reflects a period in which she became more confident in following her instincts as a songwriter.

“There’s a moment when you stop trying to fit the shape the world has made for you and start listening to the person you’ve been becoming all along,” she says. “I’ve reached a deeper understanding of who I am as an artist. I’m still searching and learning, but I trust my instincts more now and worry less about whether a song is behaving itself. I follow it wherever its emotional truth leads. These songs are about self-discovery, defiance, resilience and transformation. I hope they leave people feeling freer, lifted above the weight of everyday life, and bold enough to believe that something better is possible.”

The album’s first single, “Mr. In The Middle,” focuses on a relationship in which attraction remains strong despite two people wanting different levels of commitment.

“The chemistry is real, but while one is ready to commit, the other keeps moving between desire and distance — pulling closer, then pushing away before it becomes too real. The song captures that seductive, maddening tension and the moment when attraction is no longer enough. Eventually, someone has to choose,” she says.

For Schorr, Running Wild represents a significant milestone in her career and an album she says she has wanted to make for years.

“Running Wild is the album I’ve dreamt of making all my life. It feels like a defining moment for me, and I don’t say that lightly. This record gave me more than I expected, and I hope it gives something meaningful back to the people who hear it.”
