Carole Fredericks lights up the screen again with the soulful power of "Run Away Love”

“Run Away Love” is a shining testament to Carole Fredericks’s unrivalled ability to bring emotional power and cinematic energy into alignment. Though the artist is no more, her voice still takes flight, particularly on this single, which was resurrected as the theme song for Patrice Leconte’s 1998 action comedy, Une Chance sur Deux, with Vanessa Paradis, Jean-Paul Belmondo, and Alain Delon. “Run Away Love" is yet another example of why Carole Fredericks will always be remembered.

Beginning with the first strums we hear, Fredericks’s performance is instantly captivating. Her singing flows with soul and urgency, fitting the fast-paced, adventurous tone of the movie. The production captures the essence of motion, vibrant, energetic, and not afraid to take chances. But underneath the groove is a softness and desire that makes "Run Away Love" more than just a soundtrack but the story of love and escape.

The greatness of this song lies in how seamlessly it melded cinematic drama and timeless soul. Fredericks delivers it with brutal honesty, creating striking descriptions of freedom and desire. It’s a voice that not only sings along with the movie but also lifts it up and covers its story in melody and heart. However, her voice continues to be a vibrant, dynamic artistry, brimming with significance and resonance, even after years have passed. This cut is both a tribute to her memory and proof that one voice can still inspire people
