Description: A radical reworking of our single Leave It All Behind - darker, weirder and more ethereal.

‘Roads’ is the second single from HULLAH's upcoming debut EP WAVESTATE, released on 30th August 2024. 

The single follows the lead single from the EP, ‘What if i feel like this my whole life?’ which was released earlier this year in May. His EP, WAVESTATE, will be released later this year and features a collection of self-produced songs and spoken-word soundscapes.

HULLAH shares, “I wrote and produced Roads after a moment of clarity I had coming home from a club in the early hours. It's about how I try to escape from reality and how, afterwards, in coming back to "real" life, reality hits even harder. As the track grows, the more awake, more aware and more lucid the song becomes. The song ends with a call out for connection and a sense of direction; a feeling most clubbers can relate to after a long night spent escaping.” 

The electronic dance track describes the lucid feeling many people experience whilst observing the world after the escapism of a night out. How the world keeps turning and lives are being lived even though they have escaped theirs for a brief period.

The artist, who lives with ankylosing spondylitis, an inflammatory disease, adds, “There’s a lucid, relaxed yet exhausted state I find myself in when I leave clubs. It’s the good kind of exhausted, I’ve escaped, had some great fun, maybe transcended - been free from my daily worries. Living with a disease and daily pain, the hours spent dancing is like a marathon to me. Yet the club is a place of worship and helps me get out of myself. I enjoy the freedom and courage I find in myself to dance alone, to let go. As a queer person, it’s also about finding pockets of safety and freedom even within “straight” spaces. I can feel less perceived. I can be unknown.”

Roads’ upfront, crisp and stereo production also sees the artist’s boldest vocal delivery yet - mirroring the clarity expressed in its lyrics. HULLAH concludes, “This song has opened up a path for me to explore my love of dance music within my own songwriting and production. I’m excited for the EP and what’s coming next.”

Roads

we are resident aliens (intro)

Memories can hold you back, even the good ones but especially the tough ones. So if you could give them the respect of being heard, your side of the story, where the darkness of night holds you safe, and you speak your truth on the shore. In the morning, your memories shed from you like skin, you tie the strands of your life to rocks and throw them into the water, and let your memories drown. Then, after the ceremony and grace to let them be, you would walk away lighter. Free.

Songs of love, longing, and the search for meaning — where trip-hop beats meet shimmering guitar textures and widescreen synths.

We are Colour of Heartache, a trip hop/dream hop duo with echoes of Portishead, Slowdive and the XX. We got together in London earlier this year and have been recording ever since. 

We released our first single How Do I in August and we are starting our journey of bringing our music to a wider audience with some low key gigs in and around London.

Our second single Leave It All Behind is out now on all streaming platforms.
