KiKi Holli & The Remedy impress with indie pop banger “Running Out of Time”
With “Running Out of Time,” Southern California indie-pop artist KiKi Holli expands her sonic world under the newly introduced project name KiKi Holli & The Remedy, delivering a cinematic single that balances intimacy with sweeping atmosphere.
Rooted in indie-pop but colored by dream pop textures, baroque flourishes, and a subtle dark wave undercurrent, the track builds an immersive soundscape from the opening moments. Lush synthesizers and layered orchestration create a sense of motion and tension that reflects the song’s central theme: the fragile, fleeting nature of time. The production, shaped in collaboration with Grammy-nominated producer Ethan Allen, maintains a delicate balance between scale and restraint, allowing the emotional core of the song to remain front and center.
Holli’s vocal performance is the track’s most compelling element. She begins with a controlled vulnerability, gradually expanding into soaring, emotionally charged passages that mirror the growing urgency of the arrangement. The dynamic arc gives the song a theatrical quality, a reflection of Holli’s background in stage performance.
The addition of “& The Remedy” signals an evolution rather than a reinvention. The name reflects the collaborative energy of her live band and her continued creative partnership with Allen, resulting in a fuller, more textured sound that still prioritizes strong songwriting. “Running Out of Time” feels both expansive and personal, a track that invites listeners into its atmosphere while maintaining a clear emotional narrative.
Holli has already earned praise from outlets such as Rolling Stone France, Billboard Argentina, EARMILK, and Atwood Magazine, and this release continues that upward trajectory. Following the acclaim of her 2025 single “Wish,” “Running Out of Time” further establishes her ability to blend pop accessibility with cinematic ambition.
The result is a song that feels immersive and emotionally resonant, less a fleeting single and more a moment suspended in sound. If it’s any indication of what’s ahead, KiKi Holli & The Remedy are stepping into a bold and expansive new chapter.
