“COLORS (LETTING GO)” feels easy at first. It’s upbeat, it moves, and the hook hits quickly. You could almost miss what it’s really doing if you’re not paying attention. Underneath that lightness, though, is something heavier. <3peace, a multimedia artist from Bury St. Edmunds with ties to South Carolina, pulls from Romans 6:23, not to make a statement about faith, but to work through it — letting the song sit in the space between belief, doubt, and release.
The story behind “COLORS (LETTING GO)” is almost casual. The track started as a freestyle, a quick flash of instinct that later grew into a full production. You can still hear that looseness in the way the vocals slip in and out of the beat, or in the small imperfections left untouched. It is polished, but not sterilized. A lot of artists claim spontaneity. Here it actually feels true.
Despite its spiritual core, the track never leans into the heavy, dramatic tones that usually accompany songs about redemption. Instead <3peace lets rhythm carry the weight. The production leans into light percussive patterns, soft chords, and a groove that feels warm rather than preachy. It works because it allows the theme to live inside the melody instead of sitting awkwardly on top of it. When he sings about letting go of the world and its distractions, it sounds less like doctrine and more like lived experience.
His quote about the song, “The day I understood everything was the day I stopped trying to figure everything out,” reads almost like something you might overhear from a friend who has been sitting with their thoughts for a long time. It gives the single a human center. You do not have to share his beliefs to recognize the feeling he is describing.
If there is a surprise here, it is how much of the track is carried by <3peace alone. He handled the classical guitar, the production, the mix, and the master. That level of control often leads to music that feels insular, but “COLORS (LETTING GO)” avoids that trap by leaning into openness. The sound is atmospheric without drifting into haze, and the arrangement feels cinematic in a way that hints at how easily his work could fit into film or television landscapes.
“COLORS (LETTING GO)” does not reinvent anything, and it does not try to. Instead it exists in the space between movement and meditation. The track feels like someone letting their shoulders drop after holding them too tight for too long. It is simple, but not shallow. Spiritual, but not sanctimonious. Danceable, but built on something deeper than rhythm.
