Lemon – Before We Fade to Grey (2022)
When Lemon joined forces with Cath Coffey for ‘Shiiine On’, they had us sliding into some psychedelic meditation that lifted our spirits. They are again teaming up for the single ‘Before We Fade to Grey’, which is a celebration of love in all its vibrant colours. Tapping into the joy of life and unbridled love of life, the euphoric vibes of the track are taken to another level by the music video recorded during Pride in Amsterdam.
With a sound that has been heavily influenced by the Second Summer of Love, the band fuses Britpop with soul rock. Extremely catchy, their music speaks to your soul on a completely different level and fills your mind with kaleidoscopic colours. If you were drawn in by their last release, this track will cement their place in your heart.
‘Before We Fade to Grey’ hits you with the groovy and rather euphoric vibes from the first second. There is a funky undertone to the music that lifts your spirits and makes you want to move around to the flow. There is a slightly retro edge to the sound that brings lava lamp movements to the soundscape, while ribbons of colour zap through the sky. You can’t help but feel light as you listen to this melody. The vibrant colours that shine through the melody burst and pop through your brain, leaving relaxed and happy sparkles in their wake. While the drums keep pushing you forward, the organ slows everything down, while the guitar twists and twirls to its own rhythm. Everything comes together for the best listening experience possible.
The summer of love vibes of the music is enhanced by the vocals that are soft and hazy, yet really powerful in their messaging. The soft edges of the vocals flow into the music creating a vibrant bleed of colours. There is something undeniably warm threaded into the vocals that make you want to smile while turning the volume up. This is a song that you can easily relax to in the sun while listening to it at full blast. The lyrics bring a delightful take on love as this emotion is fully embraced without any reserve. Through the vocals, you can feel the celebration of love and goodness that overtakes everything in your chest and fills you with the happiness of the track.
With a heavy dose of summer of love vibes, Lemon fill you with the vibrant colours of love while embracing this emotion with unbridled joy through ‘Before We Fade to Grey’. Both the melody and vocals have a retro edge that fills you with the kaleidoscope of colours that make this single fantastic. The vocals are soft as they fill your chest with the bursting emotions of the single.
