Colds “Come Out”

If you’re not careful, Colds can easily become your most streamed artist. With a sound of pop sensation that reminds you some of the biggest names in the music industry at the same time reminds you of no one but himself, his hard-hitting lyricism and rich vibe has a way to get under your skin. “Come Out” takes on a retro route, blending the vibrant sonic palette of the 80s synth into his own creation of guitar-infused pop vulnerability.

The sound here reminds you a little bit of Harry Styles’ Fine Line, where the vibe is rich and that touch of nostalgia only makes it more irresistible. “Come Out” is about loving someone including all the skeletons in the closet. In his lyrics, Colds encourages loved ones to trust and open themselves up, not to be afraid and hide the flaws and imperfections in the dark. It’s okay to turn off the light. It’s okay not to be perfect.

Colds’ lyrics are highly relatable. He hits you right where you least expect, giving what your heart desperately need though you might not even realize that you do. With a dash of brightness and upbeat pulsation, “Come Out” sends a heartfelt message to anyone who struggles with insecurity and self-judgement. Colds’ charming vocals bear a transparent, soul-reaching quality. Lyrics like his come from a pure heart, and everyone who listens to it can feel it too. That’s what makes “Come Out” really powerful.

As a music nerd, Colds draws his inspirations from acts like LANY, Fiji Blue, Lauv, and HARLOE. His interest lies in finding a sweet spot between indie, classic, and retro, and modernity, creating a sound that’s refreshing yet broadly resonating, vintage yet modern. In the past, the music of the Netherlands-based artist has been featured in several Spotify Playlists including Neon, NMF Hungary, and Nemazapop.
