Stepping into the vibrant soundscape of the latest release by Live In Color, “Yes To Me,” feels like embarking on a sonic journey through the picturesque city of Jönköping itself.

The opening mid-heavy bassline, reminiscent of classic disco grooves, hooks you from the first beat, promising a dance-worthy experience.
The chorus emerges as the crown jewel of the track – an earworm that lodges itself in your mind with the same kind of addictive potency as the anthems of bands like Fall Out Boy. Additionally, the seamless integration of the synth lines crafts an immersive sonic landscape, where each element complements the other to produce a harmonious and electrifying whole.

The mix of “Yes To Me” is a masterclass in utilizing the stereo field. The elements are ingeniously placed, creating a sense of depth that takes you on an auditory adventure. The pulsating bass resonates in the centre, anchoring the track, while the synths elegantly dance around, creating an expansive and multi-dimensional experience. This dynamic use of space lends an extra layer of excitement to the track, enhancing the overall listening experience.
With its upbeat tempo and catchy melody, “Yes To Me” could effortlessly find a home in the soundtracks of teen dramas like “Euphoria” and “Riverdale,” infusing their scenes with an undeniable vivacity.

In their latest effort, Live In Color showcases their ability to merge pop sensibilities with an adventurous spirit, creating a track that not only makes you move but also sticks with you long after the music fades. This electro-pop gem is a testament to the band’s evolving prowess and sets the stage for a dazzling musical journey ahead.
