Run To Waters

Released in 2018, Run To Waters represents a significant artistic evolution for Justin Nozuka, moving away from the more conventional R&B-inflected folk of his debut toward a lush, atmospheric chamber-folk sound. The album was preceded by two EPs, 'High Tide' and 'Low Tide', which were eventually integrated into this full-length project. The recording is defined by its relationship to nature, both lyrically and sonically, with many tracks exceeding the five-minute mark to allow for slow-building arrangements and ambient textures. Critically, the album was noted for its maturity and its departure from radio-friendly hooks in favor of a cohesive, mood-driven experience. It stands as Nozuka's most atmospheric work to date, cementing his reputation as a musician capable of creating deeply immersive, high-fidelity acoustic landscapes that prioritize emotional resonance over commercial trends.
