CloudKid Presents Apollo On The Run - Medusa (feat. updog)
A dark, powerful pop track, UK-based Apollo on the Run joins forces with Berlin-based artist updog, to release ‘Medusa,’ a song narrating a troublesome and abusive romantic connection and the fight to reclaim one’s power.
He says about the song, “The song is painting a picture of an extremely problematic and abusive relationship. The lyrics portray the protagonist feeling like they have a noose around their neck, that they believe their partner will keep pushing them until they find a suicide note. The imagery of Medusa is key here to showcase the sensation of feeling paralyzed, one look and they turn you to stone. Ultimately the song is meant to be empowering, a reclaiming of power. The screaming in the end symbolizes the protagonist finally taking a stand. Their partner has not broken them, despite their best efforts.”
»...one look and they turn you to stone.«
Music from the heart of the original Gotham City, Apollo On The Run is the brainchild of UK producer and songwriter Jordan Round. Inspired by early 2000’s Deftones and Slipknot songs and sounds, and fused with modern pop, trap R&B like Santino, Le Saint and Doja Cat, these artists helped shape his vision for a fresh new sonic canvas for him. Obtaining over 35 million streams on his co-writes for other artists, Apollo, real name Jordan Round, is now showing the world his own artistic vision. His track with updog, ‘Medusa,’ out now!
