With "Running Through Red Lights," James Fauntleroy has now dropped six songs in the last month and three in the last week. These are not mere loose tracks, as Fauntleroy is pursuing a particular sound, a guitar-driven '80s-ish vibe supporting his airy vocals. It's similar to the palettes of Frank Ocean and Blood Orange, and when viewed alongside the upstart Leon Bridges and Miguel's new album WILDHEART, it seems to signal a shift in R&B towards the guitar as a central instrument.
Produced by Larrance and Jmo, “Running Through Red Lights" is the story of a lover who Fauntleroy cannot get out of his head.

Quotable Lyrics
I'm running through red lights
Like love's gonna save me
I'm running through red lights
Girl you drive me crazy
