With
a powerful voice and the might of music as his sword, New Zealand born, UK
based artist Warner
Newman releases his official debut single Runaway on
October 28, aimed to expose the damage caused by domestic abuse.
Runaway delivers
a stark poignant message to us all; domestic abuse wrecks lives for
generation upon generation… help stop it and put our children first.
Runaway is
a biographic reflection of Warner’s childhood. The man he is today, walks
in the shoes of the child he used to be, his cutting words pouring out the
heart-wrenching truth of domestic violence through a young boy’s eyes.
Featuring Delena
Higgins on vocals, Runaway is an urban-pop
masterpiece with catchy melodic hooks weaving their way around
Warner’s biting lyrics, slicing open a hidden part of life that far too many
women are experiencing.
A collaboration with producer Brian
Paturalski (Outkast Hey Ya, Aerosmith, 50 Cent, Britney
Spears) and mastered in New York at Sterling
Sound studios (Rhianna, Drake, Adele, The Weekend), Runaway delivers
a clear-cut slice of real life.
A victim of domestic violence himself, Warner spent his entire childhood
fighting for his life, watching his mother abused by her partner, whilst Warner
constantly dodged the beatings and abuse, his physical scars an outer token of
the times he didn’t manage to get away. When his step-father reached for
a gun and aimed it at the young teen, Warner fled home, never to return.
He’s the one that got away, the one who lived to fight another day and now
channels his passion and talent for music to expose the horror behind domestic
violence in an attempt to make a change.
“Music
is my church, my God, my best friend…..it made me want to try in
life. It was the one thing that made me strong again,” says Newman.
Warner's
debut album entitled, The
Death of Warner Cornish is scheduled for release in March
2017.
The
single Runaway is
released on October 28 on Lukey Boy Record via A.W.A.L / Kobalt.
