Hailing from Dallas in the USA is colby!, and just late last month saw the artist drop their stunning new EP, "Dead Giveaway". Since breaking onto the scene earlier on in the year the Texas-based singer-songwriter has gone on to get over 150k streams, which is such an achievement by anyone, let alone an artist who's only been dropping tunes since May 31st of 2024!
The EP is a collection of tunes colby! has been releasing since late May and what we have on offer is less of an EP but more of a teaser of what's to come, and of course a big "hello" to the record labels!
The first two tracks comprise of the upbeat pop anthem "Dead Giveaway" which focuses a lot on her vocal range, mixed in with a delicious amount of pop-leaning guitar tones and stompable beats. "Gone To Bed" is colby! at her finest when it comes to vocals, as it feels like you're listening to a festival headline act as it's that smooth. Musically this has a lovely RnB beat to it with some quirky alt-pop tones which offers you some Glass Animals-type sounds.
The centrepiece of the EP is "Break Me Twice", a much slower song compared to the first two, but once again you get those quirky alt-pop guitar tones wallowing around your ears which certainly will bring you from a casual listener to a fan!
The final two tracks are comprised of the newest song and her best-performing one, the former is "Moving On" which to me is her smoothest and darkest, with sounds on here sounding almost like a Billie Eilish tune - but once again with those alt-pop guitar loops. Closing it all off is "Doing What I Can", by far her most important track to date yet as this is how a lot of people get into her sounds, and I can easily see why too!
