Paola Bennet - “Wasn’t Made For Running”

New York-based singer-songwriter Paola Bennet finds her way back to us with a new release, “Wasn’t Made For Running,” a vulnerable track about wondering if you’re enough.

The soft, shimmering notes from an electric guitar begin reverberating upon the press of the play button, with distant, rising waves of ambience permeating the soundscape. The sensation is immediately ethereal and introspective and we are suddenly quite elated to have it entering our ears.

Bennet’s vocal emerges, gentle and intimate as she begins her lyrical delivery. “Wasn’t Made For Running” is a slow-burning climb through an emotional showcase– the kind of song you love to hear in those quiet moments of self-reflection, perhaps wondering why your relationship fell apart. Bennet initially won us over with her authentic singing style, and we are pleased to inform you that it is also present here.

The entire performance is a tender and gradual crescendo, with new elements consistently easing their way into the arrangement, including some deep bass and additional layers of dreamlike vocal textures. Upon the crest of this sonic wave, all of these sounds culminate in a marvelous display of glorious emotion, guaranteed to deeply resonate within anyone close enough to hear.
