Colorblind share new single “Haunted” featuring Las Vegas MC EKOH
I’ve got a love/hate relationship with genre tags. One the one hand, they can restrict how artists music travels but on the other hand, it can be a really powerful thing for a scene; helping connecting new ears to their work and helping grow and evole existing styles. With dreamcore there’s a lot of experimentation going on and although most is rooted in a metalcore base, the beats, synths and etheral samples overlaid can range from game-changing to cut & paste. With Austin, Texas band COLORBLIND they’ve smashed it. Creating a true atmopsheric vibe, with the hard hitting elements of heavy and fusing in hip-hop, trap and a good dashing of pop. With the edition of Vegas MC EKOH (who has collaborated with the likes of VANS clothing through to Tech N9ne) it’s a really unpredictable collab that has brough to life a new favourite track for many.
“This song came from a really personal place for both of us. We were near the end of writing our own album and decided to come together to write something that reflected where we were emotionally,” shares Colorblind’s vocalist Travis Moseley. “The chorus captures the feeling of being haunted by the past and stuck in a cycle you can’t control, but collaborating on it allowed us to channel that weight into something cathartic. It’s about facing the weight of the past and the struggle to keep moving forward, even when it feels like everything’s falling apart.”
EKOH continues to explains, “This song is deeply personal. The verses share my battles with depression, addiction, and a past I’m not proud of, while the chorus reflects feeling trapped by it all—haunted and barely living. I think it’ll resonate with a lot of people. Being at the end of each of our albums, I think we were both feeling emotionally exposed and able to lay everything out on the table.”
