about

Newton Colours is an original collaboration between a Scottish folk/ rock singer and a French electro/ hip hop beatmaker, weaving genres into a unique sound in their debut album: “Where the Weather Went.” The ten album tracks are powered by songwriter Will Dee’s deep, unusual voice, melded with FORM’s ethereal and epic melodies. The result is a rich musical proposal, unclassifiable, with all the sums of its parts resonating in unison. A band is born.

Newton Colours est le fruit d'une collaboration originale entre un chanteur de folk écossais et un beatmaker electro/hip hop français. Un croisement des genres au son unique et un premier album au titre évocateur: «Where the Weather went». 10 titres solaires, portés par la voix grave, écorchée du songwriter Will Dee et par les mélodies tantôt vaporeuses, tantôt épiques du compositeur FORM. Le résultat est une proposition musicale dense, inclassable, dépassant les références, où se dégage à chaque instant une vibration universelle. Un groupe est né.

lyrics

LYRICS - FOCUS - (NEWTON COLOURS)

I demonstrate a dead man’s traits
Everything would be great if we got straight
Pills down the drain and them bills on the slate
Quake on the pavement, can’t open the gate

(Chorus)
I
Can not
Concentrate
Man
Should
Contemplate

She demonstrates these speed demon traits
Deliberately placing herself in this state
She lays down later than fashionably late
Too much in the brain; don’t you mention the plate
Tension I mention, like death worse than fate
Stress of this distress at blistering rates
Twisted up the system now, flick reset, reactivate
Switching-up-the-picture-now--flip-it-round-to al-ter-nate.

(Chorus)

These days
The lines are blurred (they shift and they shake)
I demonstrate shambolic traits
Tripping up over the truths we create
Slipping up on the lies you spit. On all this: I can’t relate
Hard to maintain when you deviate, eh? See no way to regulate.
And of late I cannot say: sure, not sure just where to lay.
Then you say you’re taking off, y’bat yer lashes, backing up.
And of late I cannot stay - focused on the night today.
Everyday ways breaking off; and the line she’s brea-kin’-up.

(Chorus)

These days
The lines are blurred
She says
The nights are worse
Focus, love
