Rising US-based singer-songwriter Yueku (aka Christian Koo) returns with an epic bop for us all to enjoy.
‘Marathon’ treats listeners to an 80’s-inspired sound that effortlessly fuses power-pop with indie and synth. Alongside its energising production, the song’s melody and punchy chorus makes this one of the biggest songs of the summer.
“‘Marathon’ is a high energy track about the inability to leave someone who isn’t right for you. No matter your efforts to distance yourself, they find a way to pull you back in. Though you’re capable of seeing the relationship through an objective lens, the other person inexplicably continues to cloud your judgment; the thought of running a marathon seems much easier than running away. The song has a lot of inspiration from 80’s pop, even slightly alluding to those old exercise tapes.”
Upcoming EP ‘Little Less Noise’ is scheduled for release on the 28th July. Yueku joins The Wldlfe on their summer tour from today – dates and tickets can be found below.
