Nina Nesbitt Shares Colours Of You

by | Aug 23, 2022

Scots singer-songwriter Nina Nesbitt has released latest single Colours Of You from her forthcoming third studio record Älskar, which drops on September 2nd. Having recently exceeded a career landmark of a billion streams, Nesbitt continues a huge month in her career as she supports Coldplay at their two massive Hampden Park stadium shows in Glasgow this week.

In Colours Of You, the 28-year-old crafts an evocative image of a blossoming relationship, focusing on the small things that make a person quite unlike anyone else. It’s also a song which touchingly remembers every detail as love took hold, from the location to London’s early winter chill. Musically it is pure romantic elegance, with Nina’s beautifully delivered lyrics adorned with gentle piano and subtle string accompaniment. It’s her story, but elements of it may well be yours too.

Of the new album cut, Nesbitt offered: “If a person was a painting then this song would be the colour palette that creates the picture. Falling in love is such a sensory experience, whether it be the scent someone wears, a favourite song you both listen to, the places you visit, the way they feel etc. Everyone has unique things about them but you only get to see them when you dive deep.”

Colours Of You saw the West Lothian-native tick-off a bucket-list ambition as she co-wrote and co-produced it with the Grammy-winning Dan Wilson, the Closing Time hitmaker with his band Semisonic, also known for his work with Adele on songs including Someone Like You. The song’s other co-writer is Nick Long (Machine Gun KellyBebe Rexha), while the strings arrangements were provided by another Grammy winner in the shape of Davide Rossi (ColdplayGorillaz).

For the new single’s video, Nesbitt retraces the London sights that were the backdrop to the romance that she sings about – from Hyde Park and the Royal Albert Hall to Notting Hill and the bright lights of Soho. The camera focuses consistently on Nina, giving the viewer the impression that they’re right with her. It also captures a nostalgia for that first spark in a relationship that makes you feel as if nothing else matters.
