Los Angles-based rock band rosecoloredworld has quickly gained popularity through their music in the past year. Each song reflects themes such as vulnerability and perseverance. The duo consists of Addison and Rae, who always seize to create music that balances light and darkness with honesty and heart. The band's latest EP release is nothing short of a powerful collection of songs that holds a unique quality from start to finish. Each track blends personal storytelling with uplifting rhythms, capturing the hearts of many fans.
The first track on the EP, "cold day in hell" starts out strong as a heart-heavy centerpiece. The song's meaning beautifully captures the pain of lost trust and the emotional distance it can feel like mentally. The lyrics follow a journey of finding strength in the aftermath of being broken. With lyrics like "Always wanting something more, I know that I've been here before" and "Round and round this carousel, then wonder why I'm unwell," it shares the weight of holding onto an emptiness inside and feeling like what you're chasing is slipping through your fingers. The dark, ambient melody, led by vibrant guitar riffs, perfectly reflects the song's soul-stirring energy. As the track gradually unfolds, the vocal layers effortlessly harmonize during each verse and chorus, creating an overall richness to the production.
The next track,"all we had" dives into the emotional aftermath of a connection that faded away and having those memories continue holding a place in your heart. Each lyric reflects on what loss can feel like deep inside and how something beautiful can quickly turn into pain. Lyrics that stood out to me were "You can't take it with you, even if you tried" and "Won't last forever, but we have tonight." The storytelling throughout does well with uniquely finding ways to resonate with listeners, and the vocal performance from both Addison and Rae helps add to the compassionate lyrics written for this song. The instrumentation showcases the song's forceful soundscape, with certain parts having gentle guitar chords added in. The acoustic section during the bridge of the song really complements the soft vocals and flows well right back into the last chorus. A perfectly raw but comforting song that grounds the message of allowing peace to overcome the heartbreak of loss and finding a way to move forward.
Next we have "hanging on (by a thread)," the third track on the EP. Another heartfelt song that takes on feelings of being emotionally drained but still staying persistent even at your breaking point. Lyrically, the song follows a strong message of capturing the silent struggle inside us (hanging by a thread) but refusing to let anything stop you from giving up. Following the lyrics, the layered synths and steady beats emphasize the heaviness within the lyrics. The vocal delivery from the two really intensifies the track's meaning and takes the entire production to the next level.
The fourth track, "broken glass" reflects themes of holding on to self-worth when life gets overwhelming and looking for someone who can be there for you. With each lyric, the message reveals the emotional work of owning how we feel after moments of hurt and the beauty of starting over. Lyrics such as "It's ok to feel lost, we're broken but not gone" and "If I'm falling off the edge, will you save me now?" The power that each word gives lends the track an aching tension while still providing that passionate tone we love from the band. Complementing the vocals and lyrics, the layering of drums, guitar riffs, and atmospheric synths helps define the realness of the track, which gives listeners a lasting impression.
Now on to the last track of the EP, "medicine" which is a compelling exploration of different ways love can both heal and hurt. Exploring themes of feeling emotionally dependent on a relationship, the lyrics unravel moments of finding comfort in someone that once healed but now has created chaos in your life. The vocals throughout are delicately delivered while still having that fierce tone, matching the melodies from verse to chorus. The instrumentation beautifully interacts with the vocals, followed by mellow basslines combined with a calming undertone of guitar riffs and drums blended together. A true sense of healing within is heard through this song, making it the perfect track to close out this soulful EP that will surely leave listeners wanting more.
