One of our favourite tracks from the album, is the jungle influenced “New Forms”. It’s a track that showcases the versatility of the artist and he’s just returned with a new visual ahead of his performance at this year’s Amsterdam Dance Event, as part of the DGTL showcase. The video delves into the aftermath of a pivotal moment in the artist’s life – an epileptic episode that occurred after a three-day rave during his youth.
This episode marked a significant turning point for Coloray, as it prompted a shift in his focus from partying to music creation and led him to seek therapy for the very first time. “New Forms” as a song underscores the emotional highs and lows associated with depression, emphasizing the growing importance of open conversations about mental health. The release of this music video further accentuates the introspective themes that run throughout the entire album.
