Riva Taylor’s new album, “Colours of Blue,” is a stunning blend of soulful melodies and Latin American rhythms that we share here at LOCK.
This album masterfully fuses jazz, bossa nova, and world rhythms with contemporary pop, creating a collection that’s both introspective and irresistibly catchy.
The standout single, “Outside of Your Heart,” features British-Colombian artist Lisey Tigra and introduces a dynamic reggaeton beat layered with soothing melodies. Taylor’s gentle chorus contrasts beautifully with Tigra’s fiery Spanish rap, resulting in a refreshing and compelling mix of styles.
She shares, “I wanted to go back to my roots on this album and return to where it all began for me as an artist, exploring sounds that spanned the jazz and soundtrack worlds. After the pandemic, I was ready to shift my perspective as a writer, focusing less on the personal and more on the observational, reflecting on fresh relationships and places. Two years and numerous trips to Latin America later, here is ‘Colours Of Blue,’ a reflective collection of songs inspired by artistic collaboration, exotic places, and new rhythms.”
Each song on “Colours of Blue” resonates deeply, blending pop, Latin, and Spanish influences. The polished production further enhances the overall experience, demonstrating Taylor’s clear vision for her music.
With “Colours of Blue”, Riva Taylor invites listeners into a rich, soulful soundscape that leaves a lasting impression. Check it out now.
