Songwriter Colourshop is back with his new single, "Sailing Boat." Recorded at RoomTo in Barcelona and co-produced by Jason Boshoff and Oscar Bragado, this track returns Colourshop to an intimate, stripped-back aesthetic, one that sounds both fresh and renewed.
"Sailing Boat" draws you in with the first notes. Colourshop's voice sails over a calming Bossa-style pace, set against some delicate percussion from Bryan Curtis, which arranges the acoustic shapes. It's an understated, lush number with a subtle sense of gravitas that remains long after the final chord.
"Sailing Boat" is so extraordinary. Ditching the grander production layers found on previous works, Colourshop embraces an acoustic honesty that is incredibly human. Shades of Kings of Convenience, Lianne La Havas, and Damien Rice peek through its lines, but the song firmly holds on to Colourshop's own expression of warmth. It's about letting go of control and releasing ourselves to be swept up in life, out of our own controlling arms. It's a testament to the quiet power of acceptance, a call to lean back, let the trip take you where it will, and float. At a time when the world feels smothered by noise and haste, "Sailing Boat" is an oasis of calm and clarity.
This release is a testament to who Colourshop is becoming as an artist. By stripping back, he's discovered something powerful in its very softness. "Sailing Boat" isn't designed to be listened to, it's intended to be felt.
