Soul-inspired pop singer/songwriter, pianist, worship leader and producer Natalie Layne releases her five-song EP, Still Running To You, today (Sept. 9) from Centricity Music. Available at streaming and digital retailers worldwide via https://natalielaynemusic.lnk.to/stillrunning, the project celebrates the power found in the steady perseverance of faith over time.
Layne recorded Still Running To You with a live band of seasoned players in one room, giving the project an organic, communal tone. The classically trained Colorado native, now based in Nashville, co-produced every track and co-wrote the songs with award-winning songwriters, including David Spencer, Kyle Williams and Ethan Hulse.
“I want this music to feel timeless and meaningful,” Layne explains, “but I’ve learned we can’t do anything meaningful alone. The making of it has been really, really sweet. It’s been healing to do it with people I love who are so creative.”
The EP’s title track and radio single, “STILL RUNNING TO YOU,” seamlessly interpolates “Blessed Assurance,” the familiar hymn that has become Layne’s personal anthem. The song reflects her testimony of continuing to follow Jesus, keeping Him as her True North.
“I want people who grew up in church to know their story is really significant,” says Layne. “I hope this song connects with ‘church kids’ like me, because it’s special to be able to say that, after all these years, we’re still running to Him.”
Layne’s penchant for funk and her deft musicality surface in the dynamic EP opener, “BIG WORLD.” Accented by bright horns, the vibrant first song affirms listeners’ common identity as children of God.
“It’s just such a fun song that reminds me we’re all connected,” she observes. “I think about people’s stories as they walk in the doors when we’re playing a concert, and I remember that just for a moment, we can forget about all of our problems and disappointments and be in the same space together.”
Later in the tracklist, “YOU STAYED” is one of Layne’s favorite songs she has ever written. “In a world where it’s probably easier to leave or give up before stories are totally finished, the Lord really shows us what it looks like to stay,” she says of the message behind the anchor selection. “The power of staying is really valuable. Actually pressing through and sticking around for the long haul is where the gold is found.”
Created for listeners who are continuing to pursue Jesus — including those still working out their faith one step at a time — the full Still Running To You tracklist follows:
1. BIG WORLD
2. WHAT HE SAID
3. LOVED BY YOU
4. YOU STAYED
5. STILL RUNNING TO YOU
Taking her new music and fan favorites on tour, Layne launches her “All Joy The Tour Pt. 2” in Stockbridge, GA Sept. 18. For concert tickets and all her latest music and news, visit www.natalielayne.com or follow her on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Spotify, YouTube and Apple Music.
