Crooked Colours Show Us Their "Love Language"

Crooked Colours release intoxicating love song “Love Language” and curate an exclusive playlist branching off the new single.

From pensive lyrics to pleasure-evoking sounds, Crooked Colours definitely know how to hit their fans in the feels. Just when we thought we’d seen all the tricks up their sleeves, they entrance us with “Love Language.” This track plays our heartstrings like a harp. No matter where you are, whether you’re chilling or raging, throwing on a Crooked Colours track can always enhance the experience. You can float away on the soothing vocals on a long drive, or bob your head to the catchy beat at a festival.

Describing Crooked Colours as “crowd-pleasing” would be an understatement. They’re more like “crowd-mind-blowing,” and “Love Language” is a perfect continuation of that. The track features the trio’s signature unique blend of delicate acoustics and dance-floor-ready synths. The song begins with delicate strums and muted chords, accompanied by a sound that somewhat resembles a radar under the sea. To me, it feels like I’m navigating the depths of the ocean, looking for something. (The love of my life, maybe?) After leaving us satisfyingly suspended for a moment, the infectious beat slides in and picks up the energy.

Then it hits you: the lyrics, conveying the feelings of uncovering, and diving into, a rare connection with another person. Crooked Colours combine uplifting beats and flowy lyrics that mimic the feeling of being madly in love: feeling like you’re sedated in a dreamy soundscape but your heart beating excitedly in your throat. It’s comforting and a thrill all at the same time. They did an incredible job of bringing that dichotomy to life in “Love Language.”

“This song is about the different ways in which we communicate our love for each other. How special it is to find someone that speaks the same “love language” as you. It’s a celebration of the uniqueness of relationships.”
Phillip Slabber

But Crooked Colours knew we’d want more, so they curated an entire dreamy playlist that branches off the energy of the tune keeping the vibes high all day long.
