Riva Taylor weaves a vibrant mosaic of emotions and experiences on new album Colours of Blue, blending her love for jazz, bossa nova, and world rhythms with contemporary pop elements to make for a deeply introspective and catchy sonic experience.
From the soothing yet sultry tones of "Outside of Your Heart," featuring British-Columbian artist Lisey Tigra to unfolding a tale of a romantic summer fling on title track, "Colours of Blue", featuring Mexican artist Ervin River, the album is a transformative journey that spans a spectrum of feelings, offering solace, sunshine, and a touch of nostalgia.
Speaking of the album, Taylor says, “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. 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."
With a reflective but colourful sonic world, Riva Taylor’s latest leaves us feeling refreshed and thoughtful all at once.
