A beautifully unfolding new single from Colourshop, “Florence” engages with its vivid lyricism and thematic emphasis on beauty’s intrinsic, rather than utilitarian, power. The Italian-born, London-based songwriter conjures a sound that’s inviting and layered, fondly reminiscent of Jens Lekman on this alluring track. Colourshop will be promoting by embarking on a bike tour from Anagni to Barcelona, where the track was recorded, and produced by Jason Boshoff and Oscar Garcia Bragado.
Tender guitars and warming vocals paint a scenic picture to start, illustrating a walk through the city of Florence: “This summer breeze I am breathing, by the window, looking down from the central square, I see now someone singing his heart out.” The frolicking guitar strums and harmonious vocal progression thereafter enchant, crafting a balmy and hypnotic allure, as the vocals behold “the beauty all around me.” A moving success from Colourshop, “Florence” artfully conveys the intrinsic nature of beauty, set against the namesake city’s beauty.
