PERFORMING AT BABY'S ALL RIGHT IN BROOKLYN, NY ON OCTOBER 2
Following the release of Acknowledge Kindness, The Reds, Pinks & Purples announce a companion record, True Love Daydream, arriving on Friday, September 25. The album will be available in digital and limited cassette formats only. Donaldson and the band will be performing in Brooklyn, NY at Baby's All Right on October 2.
Ever prolific, most of the music on True Love Daydream was created by Glenn Donaldson at the same time as Acknowledge Kindness. Donaldson eloquently describes the EP as "a little boat set adrift off the shore of the main album."
Here, separated from the album, the music has space to ebb and flow, lingering in shimmering ambiance. Three of the songs on the EP are atmospheric instrumentals, a slight departure from Donaldson's classic songwriting, yet retaining the emotional depth that makes the music so captivating.
The EP is preceded today by the track "Heaven Of Love (Slow Version)" about which Donaldson comments:
"This was the original version of this song. Some of the lyrics and melodies are totally different than the album version. When I came to the end of making the Acknowledge Kindness album, I felt there were too many ballads, so I rearranged it as more of a pop song. But this might be the true form of this tune. The ending is more emotional. The song is more feeling than thinking, so it’s hard to explain what it’s about, but it's true that sometimes we need to imagine there’s an Earthly heaven that’s just out of reach."
