colby! – “Doing What I Can”

/

“Doing What I Can” is a magnetic new single from Dallas-based artist colby!, swiftly maneuvering between distorted guitar stomps and lush pop intrigue. Exploring the goal to find happiness within, “Doing What I Can” invigorates with its anthemic, inner-confidence qualities. “The new single is about realizing that you are the only one who can make yourself happy, and you can’t let others’ opinions affect what you do or how you feel,” colby! says.

“Burning some bridges, and you’re treating me like a child,” the artist lets out amidst a clockwork-like rhythmic rumination alongside thumping guitars. “Maybe one day you’ll see,” they continue with momentum, referring thereafter to aspirations for personal change and taking “it all back,” — before invigorating with a call to embrace one’s own current self. “I’m doing what’s best for me, maybe one day you’ll see,” colby! resonates during the more guitar-centric ardency, traversing a fantastic balance between impassioned rock energy and confident pop artfulness. “Doing What I Can” is a surefire success from colby!.

The track is also featured in the genre-based, best-of Spotify compilation Emerging Indie Pop. Stream the playlist below:
