Miami-born Cuban American artist Eddy Puyol is a genre-blending figure whose music brings together faith, funk and pure joy. With millions of streams, Grammy recognition and charting singles, Eddy has enjoyed a decorated career built on his ability to pair heart and groove, crafting tracks that inspire as much as they move. Whether his songs are blasting from an NFL broadcast, soundtracking a CBS or FOX segment or lighting up Sunday worship, his sound exists everywhere meaning meets rhythm.
He was among the first to blend hip hop into church spaces, transforming traditional worship into something colourful and alive. His music has since reached global audiences from creating the Winter Jam Tour Spectacular theme song and performing at The Dove Awards to featuring on ESPN’s NBA Draft coverage. Every moment has only reinforced his mission to bring light, gratitude and groove to as many people as possible.
Now, with his new single titled “Run It Back,” Eddy Puyol turns that mission into motion, delivering a track that shakes with life, faith and musical energy. A thrilling introduction to his latest full-length project Run tha Funk Back for a Good Time, the song marks his full dive into the world of funk. Combining slick grooves, classic basslines and upbeat energy straight from South Florida, he channels the spirit of Parliament, Kool & The Gang and The Dazz Band while keeping it cutting edge in the style of Silk Sonic.
“Run It Back” bursts out of the gate with swagger, fusing retro vibes with modern impact, setting up a smooth groove with crisp percussion and sweeping instrumental tones. His bouncy vocal delivery glides across the beat, his verses shining with gratitude for the people closest to him, his wife, his family and his community. Flowing through the infectious energy, there’s a clear sense of purpose with a celebration of living boldly and meaningfully.
Midway through, the groove slows for a reflective bridge, “Life ain’t always about going a hundred on the highway” rings out as a reminder to breathe, be present and savour the moment. It’s a trademark Eddy touch, blending dancefloor heat with contemplating, proving that his music can lift spirits while offering something wholesome at the same time. Peppered with colourful instrumentation, the track delivers an uplifting and instantly memorable sound that’s sure to strike a chord with listeners all over the world.
The accompanying music video, directed by award-winning filmmaker Will Thomas, was shot outside Tommy “Urban D.” Kyllonen’s Crossover Church in Tampa, Florida, visually playing out like a modern block party. Chrome-drenched Chevys and Cadillacs on 30s roll through the frame courtesy of Underground Rim King, while friends and family dance, laugh and celebrate under the Florida sun. It’s a soulful and utterly epic outing from an artist who continues to operate at the very highest level, confirming that when Eddy Puyol runs it back, he runs it with passion and a whole lot of funk.
