The single, produced by Merk (Mark Perkins), is one of indie-pop sincerity and inspired by Bluey Green - AKA Mitch Horton - watching how his own kids engage with their surroundings.
“I originally wrote Colours when I saw the open and honest way my kids would interact with the world”, reflects Horton.
“But then also seeing, from time to time, the heartbreaking way they can be made to feel like some parts of their personalities don't quite measure up; that they felt they needed to be dulled down or adjusted to fit in. As I wrote the song I realised that I was doing the same things, and that the song was as much for me as it was as the listener. I still like listening to it and reminding myself of the message.”
“No one is immune to the feeling of having to adapt the way we look, think and act to fit into the world. Colours is a bit of push back on this."
With his self-titled debut EP set for release on July 9, Colours is another mini journey in its entirety, and a taste of what’s to come.
“I have always loved records that keep you guessing, so you never quite know where they are going to go between songs. Merk's records always do that really well. Records that have a mixture of themes, energy levels and emotions are the most captivating to me.”
His first single Morning Sunshine debuted with acclaim. Championed by Radio Hauraki, the track garnered over 100k views on it’s music video, aided by catching the heart of kiwi film legend Sam Neill. Watch the video HERE
After an adventurous life of surf and travel, Mount Maunganui’s Mitch Horton turned the turmoil of 2020 into the catalyst for him to create a musical presence of summery optimism, under the name Bluey Green. His warmth and positive energy that make up the signature indie-pop-surf-rock Bluey Green sound, is a breath of fresh air to a weary world.
Keep a close eye out for the debut release Bluey Green, out July 9.
