Runkus aiming to break reggae’s limit barrier
Runkus has been a promising player in Jamaica’s music conversation since his debut trilogy album MOVE:IN, IN:SIDE and OUT:SIDE. But with his new album, SUPERNOVA, the artiste shows no interest in fitting inside any category at all.
Built from more than 170 songs and shaped by visual art exhibitions in Germany, old soul samples, and an obsessive attention to sound design, SUPERNOVA feels less like a conventional reggae project and more like an attempt to stretch the genre’s possibilities outward.
