A definitive collection of nocturnal R&B. Submerged bass, pitched-up vocals, and hazy synths create a blueprint for the Toronto late-night sound.
January 29, 2021 · OVO Sound
Colours is the sonic equivalent of a slow-motion drive through a city that never sleeps, yet feels entirely empty. It is an album defined by its negative space: the gaps between the drum hits, the way the vocals seem to float just out of reach, and the heavy, humid atmosphere that clings to every track. This is the sound of the 'Toronto wave' at its most concentrated, where the boundaries between R&B, trap, and ambient music dissolve into a singular, moody aesthetic. It feels private, like a secret shared between the artist and the listener in the dead of night.
