Sari Schorr has unveiled the official video for “Running Wild,” the title track from her upcoming album of the same name. The song is the second single to be taken from the record, following on from “Mr. In The Middle.”
Running Wild arrives on 9 October in Europe and 30 October in the USA via Provogue Records and Artone Label Group. Sari Schorr will support the release with an extensive European tour spanning 46 shows, kicking off with a UK album launch night at The Lexington in London on 29 September.

“Running Wild” finds Sari Schorr exploring the tension between desire and control. She describes the song as being about wanting someone intensely without trying to contain them, and about how holding passion too tightly risks smothering the very thing that made it exciting in the first place.
The song opens with the line “You and I light, like a forest fire, dancing with the flames on a trapeze wire,” before pulling listeners into a mix of hope and quiet resignation that runs through the rest of the track.
The accompanying video took a second attempt to get right. Sari Schorr explains that the first shoot never made it out the door, and that working with videographer Kee Koo on a second version meant chasing atmosphere rather than a literal storyline, letting instinct guide many of the shots rather than tight planning.
Sari Schorr says “Running Wild” was the first song written for the album, and that it set the tone for everything that followed. She describes an electric energy in the studio during that period, and a sense that the band had opened a door they had to keep following.
That restlessness runs through the whole record. Sari Schorr says she has reached a deeper understanding of herself as an artist while making Running Wild, trusting her instincts more and worrying less about whether a song fits expectations. She hopes the songs leave listeners feeling freer and more willing to believe something better is possible.

The album’s first single, “Mr. In The Middle,” explores similar emotional territory, following two people caught between real chemistry and one partner’s reluctance to fully commit.
Sari Schorr describes it as capturing the moment attraction alone is no longer enough, and someone has to choose.
Sari Schorr’s history stretches well beyond music. Her family’s story runs from her great-grandfather’s departure from Kyiv for America through to her own upbringing in New York, and she has spent years balancing her career with humanitarian work, from volunteering with children and the visually and hearing impaired to serving as a 9/11 first responder.
Following the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, Sari Schorr was invited by the United Nations to help distribute aid across the country, and she later returned to the UN to help raise funds for a village in India that she remains connected to today. She has said she would happily have stayed in either place, but chose to keep pursuing music as a way to reach more people.
That instinct to give back has continued alongside her career. Sari Schorr sang on Amnesty International’s 2012 anthem “Toast to Freedom,” bringing in contributors including Marianne Faithfull, Jane Birkin, Carly Simon and Christine and the Queens, and has run marathons and completed a 540-mile charity bike ride twice in support of cancer research.

Sari Schorr has faced the occasional “shut up and sing” response for speaking up beyond her music, but says she believes anyone with a platform has a responsibility to use it. For Sari Schorr, that means using her voice on the things that matter to her, on stage and off it.
With Running Wild, Sari Schorr says she has made the album she has dreamed of her whole career, calling it a defining moment she does not take lightly. The record is out on 9 October in Europe and 30 October in the USA, with pre-orders and pre-saves available now.
