De Staat have also released a selection of new tracks from their innovative red, yellow, blue project – 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 & 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.”
