Bambooman - Rusted Ft. Jehst

A soulful, nostalgic groove wrapped in baby blue. “That Colour” tells the story of a lost jumper and the quiet ache it leaves behind,  a memory stitched into rhythm. With a driving beat, syncopated bass, and Motown-inspired textures, this track blends vintage soul with modern warmth. Passionate vocals and lush instrumentation carry themes of love, loss, and the way small things linger. For anyone who’s ever missed something soft, familiar, and gone too soon.


That Colour

My songs often dwell on the possible dark futures, but today’s world also offers abundant reasons for hope.  Medical innovation is saving lives, renewable energy is reshaping economies, endangered species are recovering, and ordinary people continue to show extraordinary kindness.  These developments remind us that progress and empathy are not only possible but already happening—offering a real counterpoint to despair and a foundation on which a more hopeful future can grow.

“Good News” is a chilled and positive upbeat jazz/r’n’b celebration of human progress and everyday kindness, turning real-world advances into a musical sunrise of hope.  Images of solar fields, children laughing by restored rivers, and tigers roaming recovering forests highlight tangible environmental and social achievements, while the chorus—“hope is on the move, the world keeps proving what people can do”—underscores the power of collective action and small acts of love.  The message of the song is that despite the world’s troubles, compassion, innovation and resilience are steadily creating a better future.


Good News: A Snapshot of Positive Change Around the World
1. Health & Medicine
Eradication Progress – 
Global health campaigns continue to shrink the reach of deadly diseases. Polio is now endemic in only two countries, and cases of Guinea worm disease have dropped from millions in the 1980s to fewer than a few dozen today.

Medical Breakthroughs – 
Advances in mRNA technology (first showcased in COVID-19 vaccines) are now being applied to experimental vaccines for malaria, HIV and certain cancers, promising dramatic improvements in global health in the coming decade.

2. Climate & Environment
Rapid Growth of Renewable Energy – 
Solar and wind power have become the cheapest sources of electricity in most regions. 2024 saw record global installations of clean energy, with many countries already surpassing targets once set for 2030.

Rewilding & Species Recovery – Conservation projects are bringing species back from the brink: wild tiger numbers are rising in India and Nepal, European bison herds are expanding across the continent, and whales are slowly recovering in several oceans.

Youth-led Action – 
Grassroots movements are driving local governments and cities to adopt ambitious climate adaptation plans, turning awareness into tangible policies.

3. Technology & Innovation
Clean-Tech Acceleration – 
Breakthroughs in battery storage and green hydrogen are making carbon-free transport and industry increasingly viable.

Accessible Knowledge – 
Digital tools and open-source education platforms now allow millions to gain skills and degrees regardless of geography or income, widening opportunities and lifting communities.

4. Society & Human Rights
Global Poverty Decline – 
Though challenges remain, the share of people living in extreme poverty has fallen dramatically over the past three decades, and targeted microfinance and education programs continue to reduce inequality in many regions.

Advances in Gender Equality – 
More girls are completing secondary school worldwide than at any point in history, and women’s participation in politics and business leadership is steadily rising.

Grassroots Peace Efforts – 
Local mediation projects from Colombia to Kenya show how communities can defuse conflict and build lasting peace from the ground up.

5. Acts of Everyday Kindness
Beyond statistics, countless stories of human generosity surface each day: neighbors organizing food drives after disasters, volunteers tutoring children in underserved areas, and individuals quietly caring for the elderly or marginalized.  These unsung acts knit societies together and prove that compassion remains a powerful force.

4 Siblings is a homage, and a letter of reassurance to family. It's for siblings that, the conditions weren't ready for them to come into this world. It's for siblings that, are not blood related, but are connected through the electromagnetic forces of spirit. It's a song that moves on. It encompasses a blueness but also an acceptance and finally a message of gratitude, love and comfort in that no matter what happens, it's alright.

Delving into the world of ambient & new age this is a spiritual offering, guiding the listener through meditative moods & sedative sounds. With a strong focus & sensitivity towards his natural environment this project echoes the sounds of Aotearoa digitised into a fourth world. We recommend listening to this release while enjoying a cup of tea in a quiet / mindful space.
- Enjoy
