If the weight of life has been getting you down lately, then we have just the song to lift your spirits, ‘Yes To Me’ from Jönköping-based Live In Color. This powerful synth-fuelled pop-rock track is all about putting yourself first, even if that means breaking off a relationship, a friendship, or any other connection where your needs are all too often put at the bottom of the list. The Swedish band jump straight into this validating message of self-worth, giving the aura of someone celebrating this monumental decision to move their life forward.
‘Yes to Me’ is a track packed full of positivity, reflected both in the feel-good lyrics and the vibrant instrumentation. To this effect, the band utilises two nostalgic genres; ’00s pop-punk that most likely soundtracked the band members’ formative years and ’80s synth-pop that Sweden was well-know for during that era. What might sound like a chaotic mix comes together with polished finesse as the band deliver fast-paced drums and intricate guitar work that cohesively gels with anthem synths. It’s a sound reminiscent of successful bands like Walk The Moon or Coldplay. While the track is about as catchy as they come, especially with that singalong chorus, a personal highlight for us is the fiery instrumental crescendo.
It’s clear from listening to this single that whether you’re after addictive pop melodies or jaw-dropping riffs, it’s safe to say that Live In Color does it all.
