A new chapter of De Staat’s red, yellow and blue project as band confirm new UK & Irish tour for autumn 2022…
It’s time for another red, yellow and blue trilogy by De Staat. Today sees the release of new tracks Head On The Block, Danger and Someone To Be.
red, yellow, blue is not a studio album – instead, a massive collection of new songs is being rolled out across various digital platforms. This project started in November 2021 and will continue over the course of 2022 and 2023
While other bands force themselves to narrow all their different tracks into a ten-song album, this project allows De Staat to embrace the broad scope of what they do. Band frontman Torre Florim compares the project to food: “You get a three-course dinner every few months.” Today is one of those special days where De Staat serves us a red appetizer, a yellow main course, and a blue dessert.
About the new red song Head On The Block Florim says:
Our bubbling inspired stomper of the summer. An ego driven, aggressive, dance song. It’s an ironic take on my love hate relationship with being a performer.
Next up, as yellow, is the song Danger:
Our funky ode to danger. I believe you need danger in your life, to truly feel alive. So, this a celebration of danger, says Torre.
And lastly Someone To Be under the colour blue, ”
Is about the frustration of not knowing where to go or what to be. When you have a desire for a simple solution to personal unrest. “I just want someone to be”. Arrangement-wise this is one of my favourites: who knew a swing beat, a dubstep bass, strings, tubular bells and dreamy vocals make a hell of a combination.
