With the world still settling after a wild 2020, the refreshing timing of Virginia born band- Ok Mayday’s new single “COLORFUL“ has impeccable timing.
The collaborative effort between Ok Mayday, J Warner, Clare Reynolds, and Harmony “H-Money” Samuels was written coming out of a very difficult season in the band’s career and they felt like they had to speak/sing something into the universe to fully embrace it. Collectively they believe you have to manifest it. So it’s their proclamation that change is coming and the best is yet to come!
“It was such an organic process that was actually wrapped up in a two day session with the melodies and lyrics and original production. The post production lasted a few months when real drums were laid down and final vocals were recorded” says Harmony.
Their long awaited EP Just A Phantom is releasing this fall. This six song, extended play captures that elusive, authentic something that hides between analog’s imperfection and the beautiful sheen of pop production. Sprinkled throughout are anthemic jams like “Colorful”, “Good”, and “Stepping Down”, that are sure to be concert favorites. Contrasted by “Human (To Be Scared)”, a song cinematic in melody and thought, while the title track, “Just A Phantom” stirs the pain of unrequited love. And David Bollmann’s dreamlike, effortless, almost euphoric croon is featured in “Blossoms”.
