Blue Tomorrows seems to have channeled at once OMD, Feist and late 2000s chillwave on “Colorado.” The pitch-shifting/autotune on the vocals lends an otherworldly quality that in another song might seem gimmicky but there’s something sublimely introspective and transporting about the way the song is composed so that it seems to constantly expand emotionally and tonally before floating in space for several moments in the last part of the song like the artist is savoring a heartfelt romantic memory mixed with some bittersweet sense of loss and yearning and a flicker of hope like the feelings maybe you hold for someone that has really left a positive impression on your psyche even if things didn’t work out in the end the way you had hope. The emotional nuance expressed in the song tonally and in its words reveal a creative and emotional maturity resonates beyond the usual themes of youthful love in pop music.
