I’m always a sucker for a good romantic hit, and I think I may have just found a new favorite! “Colorblind” is the latest single by singer and songwriter Luke Alvin. It explores themes of deep commitment toward your lover. When I first saw the title of this song, I wasn’t quite sure which route Alvin would take with the song. But as I listened to the chorus, I noticed that Alvin was attempting to convey a feeling of urgency. An urgency to fully express your feelings to the one you love - and I think this is a wonderful and relatable message to sing. "Colorblind" is an energic pop-bop that makes your heart race and takes you back to those memories of falling in deep with somebody; when all you wanted was to be next to them, and you would've done anything to be.
This song has a fairly upbeat tune to it. Before Alvin gets to the chorus, the beat is simple, just some drums and the guitar. But as he transitions to the chorus, the soundscape explodes into something energetic and powerful. I think paired with the lyrics, it honestly helped with trying to convey the emotions Alvin was attempting to express. I also want to give a shout-out to Alvin’s incredible vocals. I think he has amazing control over his voice, and he was able to hit many of the high notes with ease. And like with the beat, I could clearly interpret the emotion he wanted to express through his voice, which I think only elevated this already flawless piece.
Luke Alvin is a Danish singer and songwriter, who first broke out into the scene in 2022. His debut single, “What Happened to Forever?”, has over 135,000 plays on Spotify! He released a few more singles in that same year, and a couple in 2023, but he truly began to break out this year. So far this year, Alvin has released eight singles! He has spent the past few years focusing his writing talents on other artists, so this year he wanted to release more of his own music. And I think what he’s released so far is fantastic. “Colorblind” is part of a 16-track release plan for this year, and exceeded many of my expectations. The song is available to stream everywhere now, so be sure to give it a listen if you haven’t already!
