by Jim Casey | @TheJimCasey | June 24, 2020

Runaway June has released its first single since the departure of Hannah Mulholland and addition of Natalie Stovall in May.

The revamped trio—comprised of Natalie and founding members Naomi Cooke and Jennifer Wayne—released a new version of “We Were Rich.” Penned by Ross Copperman, Nicolle Galyon and Ashley Gorley, “We Were Rich” is featured on Runaway June’s 2019 debut album, Blue Roses, however, the new version of the song—which serves as the single—features vocals and fiddle work from Natalie.

“The power that music has to heal, to transport, to give courage or bring back visceral memories is some of the most potent medicine we can ever experience and this song has done that over and over again,” said Runaway June, in part, via Instagram. “Our dream now is to share that experience with you all with our brand new single ‘We Were Rich.'”
