Cornelia Murr has announced a new album, Run to the Center, which is set for release on February 28 via 22TWENTY. The Luke Temple-produced LP includes the recently shared single ‘How Do You Get By’, and a new track, ‘Meantime’, is out today. Check out its Emma Pillsbury-directed video below.
“‘Meantime’ is about living in the liminal zone of knowing a given chapter has to end, but not being ready to end it yet,” Murr explained in a statement. “Clinging to it for comfort while you can. Still being able to access empathy/ compassion for the innocence underneath adult dysfunction. Yet the dissonance is growing and it’s getting harder to do so. Knowing the kindest thing is to leave.”
The new album follows Murr’s 2022 EP Corridor. “As a young person you’re free to wander. There’s a lot of power in that,” the singer-songwriter reflected. “But there’s an incredible sense of urgency that has snuck up on me. All of a sudden it feels like I must define my life in some major ways. Am I going to be a mother or not? If so, who am I going to do that with? If so, where am I going to do that? How am I going to afford that? Meanwhile, this feels like the most important time to devote to my work. Life these days is seemingly asking for my commitment to what can feel like contradictory things.”
