Simon Grey Releases New Single, “Run & Hide,” featuring Tony Momrelle

Simon Grey’s new single “Run & Hide” is out now! The song is a prayer to the half-truths we tell ourselves—comforting stories that shield us from harder realities.

With clavinet, synth, brass, and the unmistakable vocals of UK singer Tony Momrelle, the track became a defiant rebellion against the illusions that held me back.

More than a song, it’s the sound of choosing to run at what matters.
