Publicity Campaign: Lana Karlay - ‘Running out of Time’ ft. Cam’dn

Seventeen-year-old Australian singer-songwriter Lana Karlay unveils her latest single, ‘Running Out Of Time,’ a slow-burn pop R&B track that captures the quiet urgency of realising love before it slips away. Written and recorded in Los Angeles alongside producer Esthy, and featuring LA artist cam’dn, the track blends Lana’s expressive vocals with stripped-back, emotionally charged production.

Lana is in a rare transitional moment—balancing the creative intensity of finishing her debut album in LA with the grounded reality of being a Year 12 student back home in Australia. Her music reflects growth, curiosity, and emotional honesty, stepping boldly into a bigger sonic and visual world while remaining deeply connected to her own story.

‘Running Out Of Time’ was born from the feeling of suddenly recognising the importance of someone and wanting to make the most of every moment. The track’s minimalist production places Lana’s vocals at the centre, with cam’dn’s delivery deepening the emotional conversation. The result is a song that’s moody, honest, and best heard late at night, where the vocals sit close, and the production builds around the feeling, never overpowering it.

Lana’s creative journey has taken her to LA four times in six months, collaborating with producers Adam Moseley and Esthy, as well as performing at Breaking Sound LA. These experiences have shaped both her sound and visual identity, culminating in standout moments such as being named Emerging Artist of 2026 by KROCK and Forte Magazine at the Sails Festival.

Inspired by artists like SZA and Post Malone, Lana weaves vocal runs and a hard-hitting beat into ‘Running Out Of Time,’ reflecting her evolving influences and willingness to take creative risks. The accompanying music video, directed by Esthy and filmed in LA with cam’dn, reimagines classic visuals with a fresh perspective, echoing the song’s emotional core.

With another single on the way and three music videos supporting her debut album rollout, Lana is set to return to the US in 2026 to continue writing and recording. ‘Running Out Of Time’ marks a confident new chapter for an artist defined by emotional authenticity and creative momentum.
