In ‘Colours Of You’, Nina crafts an evocative image of a blossoming relationship, focusing on the small things that make a person quite unlike anyone else. It’s also a song that touchingly remembers every detail as love took hold, from the location to London’searly winter chill. Musically it’s pure romantic elegance, with Nina’sbeautifully delivered lyrics adorned with gentle piano and subtle string accompaniment. It’s her story, but elements of it may well be yours too.
Speaking about the new track, Nina reveals, “If a person was a painting, then this song would be the color palette that creates the picture. Falling in love is such a sensory experience, whether it be the scent someone wears, a favorite song you both listen to, the places you visit, the way they feel, etc. Everyone has unique things about them, but you only get to see them when you dive deep.”
Working on colours Of You’sawNinatick-off a bucket-list ambition as she co-wrote and co-produced it with the Grammys-winning Dan Wilson, who is best known for his work with Adelson songs including ‘Someone Like You. The song’s other co-writer is Nick Long(Machine Gun Kelly, King Princess), while the strings arrangements were provided by another Grammy winner in the shape of Davide Rossi(Coldplay, Gorillaz).
