Following the bold vulnerability of her June release Colorblind, Felicia Temple returns with Alone Together, the poignant second single from her forthcoming project A Soft Place To Land. Produced by frequent collaborator ObieIII, the track unfolds as a soulful, slow-burning embrace, an intimate soundscape that feels both weightless and profoundly grounded.

Temple’s voice, tender yet assured, traces the quiet center of a transcendent connection. It’s the kind of bond captured in vivid, lyrical detail, where “stars in your eyes” become a “permanent high,” and emotional alignment feels instinctive and all-consuming. Over dreamy chords and warm textures, she offers a meditation on what it means to be deeply in sync with someone, even when life forces you apart. “You know my thoughts / Turning the pages, it’s like a book that you read before.” This is love that lives in instinct, not explanation.

At its core is a lyrical mantra: If I have to be alone, I’d rather be alone together. It’s not just about longing for love, it’s about holding space for a bond so undeniable that even solitude feels better when it’s shared. As part of A Soft Place To Land, a body of work rooted in heartbreak, healing, and quiet strength, Alone Together stands as a luminous anthem. It honors the kind of love that doesn’t beg to be seen, but instead offers refuge, presence, and peace, even in silence.

“Running Out California” is an urgent protest-love anthem disguised as a heartbreak banger. Clocking in at ~92 BPM, this genre-bending track fuses Afro-electronic percussion, cinematic R&B strings, pulsing synth basslines, and ghostlike group vocals. The result: a modern classic that sounds like Kendrick Lamar meeting Stromae in a smoky L.A. aftershock.

Penned by acclaimed writer Aime Pandi Bapaga, performed by Ignatius Spooling, and produced by NuVox, Running Out California tells the story of a man emotionally, spiritually, and physically fleeing the City of Angels — but refusing to leave the one he loves behind.

Set against cracked boulevards and broken dreams, it’s a track that lives at the intersection of protest-pop, moody Afro-fusion, and cinematic R&B. The chorus echoes with both resignation and defiance:
“I’m not leaving without you babe… even if I run out California.”

Lyrics by Aime Pandi Bapaga

Title: Running Out California

[Intro – mantra loop]
I am running out,
Running out,
Running out California.
I am running out,
Running out,
Running out the City of Angels.

In the city, city, city — I’m a stranger.
In the city, city, city — I’m in danger.
I am running out California.
I am running out California.
I am running out California.
I am running out…

[Verse 1]
It hit me like earthquakes and lightning,
Light-speed, fast — no warning, just frightening.
Tremors through my spine,
Cracks in my soul,
Love don’t live here — it’s bitter and cold.

“Is this the prayer you preach?”
Tell me, Rabbi — do you reach?
‘Cause I’m losing it,
Losing grip,
Slipping in a city where truth don’t stick.

[Pre-Chorus]
I got to save my soul,
I got to save my soul.
Save face or fall,
Save face or fall.
My life is flashing before my eyes —
On the 10, speeding out of L.A. skies.
Ain’t giving an eye for an eye,
Still… I cry.

[Chorus – breakdown vocal / open & echoed]
But I’m not leaving without you babe,
Not leaving without you babe.
I’m not leaving without you babe.
(Yeah yeah yeah…)
ehe eh eh
ehe eh eh
ehe eh eh
ehe eh eh
ehe eh eh

[Bridge – spoken or chanted, with rising synths]
City of angels — where are your wings?
You bless the cruel, and crucify things.
There’s blood in the boulevards, gold in the pain,
I’m chasing my shadow down memory lane.

[Chorus – reprise]
But I’m not leaving without you babe,
No, I’m not leaving without you babe,
I’m not leaving without you babe.
Even if I run out California,
Even if I run out California.

[Outro – mantra fade, dark pads + heartbeat kick]
Running out, running out… California.
Running out, running out… California.
City of angels, I’m in danger.
City of angels, I’m a stranger.
Running out… running out…
But not without you.

"Night Drive" - Mecca Melodies

Streetlights, the night moves slow
The cold breeze, chills my soul (my soul)
Highway, forever feelin’ free
Then I drift, into my destiny (destiny)

⸻

Night drive, the stars in view
808’s, the sound feels new
Ocean waves, a midnight mood
My song, a lovers groove (groove)

⸻

Shadows, they start to play
Rainy days, it fades away (away)
Moonlight, it holds the key (key)
Most High, it’s you and me (meee)

⸻

Night drive, the stars in view
808’s, the sound feels new
Ocean waves, a midnight mood
My song, a lovers groove (groove)

⸻

Ride slow, trust His light
Go with peace, trust His sight
Love hard, don’t think twice
Guide me through the night

⸻

I am His, I am whole
I release, I let go (gooo)
I am free, I am bold (bold)
Findin’ peace in my soul…

⸻

In the stillness of the night,
I remind myself to dream louder than my doubts,
to love deeper than my fears,
and to rise higher than my past.
Every mile I travel is an  beautiful affirmation —
that I am guided, I am chosen, I am free.
And with every breath, I return to the Most High…
knowing He is with me,
knowing I am never alone.
