ColorsXStudios has become one of the most popular music channels on YouTube since its inception in 2016 now boasting over 6.6M subscribers. The aesthetically pleasing German channel showcases exceptional talent of all genres from around the globe and has brought to the spotlight hot acts such as Billie Eilish, Doja Cat, Jorja Smith, Kali Uchis, Angèle, and Mac DeMarco. We’ve sorted through some of the best and most recent performances on the Colors channel to bring you a list of videos featuring the standout new artists we’re crazy about.
Lunadira – ‘Go Slow’
With her orange bob and purple tulle gown Malaysia-based artist Lunadira looked like a pretty jellyfish as she swayed on the turquoise Colors stage singing her groovy single ‘Go Slow’. The video of the performance was released on the 27th January and the R&B singer, whose real name is Kuala Lumpur, made history as the first Malaysian artist to feature on the show. Sleek, sedate, and sensual, in ‘Go Slow’ Lunadira ignores the advice given to her and coolly replies “Since when do I do what I’m told?” giving us goosebumps with her defiant energy.
Flower.far – ‘Walk Away’
Thai R&B pop singer Flower.far gave a dreamy performance on the Colors Show beginning with soft delicate vocals that gave way to a powerful and flourishing style. The video for the performance of ‘Walk Away’, Far’s latest single, debuted on the 23rd January. Far looked at home on the orange Colors stage in a beige deconstructed two-piece that displayed femininity in all its ruffly asymmetrical-ness. Considering her debut single was only released in May last year it’s amazing how honed the singer sound is already.
GloRilla – ‘Out Loud Thinking’
If you’ve yet to hear of the rising Memphis star with a big attitude GloRilla, where have you been hiding? The next leading trap rap artist has had a few stellar months: currently, she’s halfway through a US tour, she’s rapped alongside Cardi B, and charted with her EP Anyways, Life Is Great. Her track ‘F.N.F. (Let’s Go)’ also achieved viral success on TikTok and a nomination for best rap performance at the Grammy’s where she looked glam in a black and white sparkly gown and met her idol Beyoncé. She garnered a lot of support from the music world with her Colors performance, which has now received over half a million views since its release in early December. On the show, she delivered a sharp performance of the last track on her latest EP ‘Out Loud Thinking’ in her distinctive low-pitched style. Glo looks steezy and laidback as always with her sleek blonde ‘do and black and pink accented athletic gear against the red background.
Jamilah Barry – ‘If The Love Goes’
London-based artist Jamilah Barry blew us away when she collabed with Nigerian-British producer P2J to perform ‘If the Love Goes’ on the Colors show back in December. Starting without any accompaniment the singer demonstrated her amazing tone then when P2J comes in with a rhythmic beat with jazzy saxophone Jamilah jams to the instrumentals delivering sweet effortless vocals as she tells her partner she’s leaving them. The performance is the second that the neo-soul singer has made on the Colors show having performed her track ‘Cut Me Open’ back in 2021. Jamilah looked regal in a royal blue one-sleeved bodycon dress that popped against the orange stage. As Jamilah released her debut EP Romance Me over 2 years ago, we’re hoping she’ll release some new material on streaming soon.
Mỹ Anh – Mỗi Khi Anh Nhìn Em’
The latest video on the Colors channel is from Vietnamese singer-songwriter and producer Mỹ Anh whose performance of her latest single ‘Mỗi Khi Anh Nhìn Em’ (‘Every time I Look at You’) was posted on the 6thFebruary. Looking like an adorable buttercup in a bright yellow quilt textured dress that matched with the stage, Mỹ Anh gave a flawlessly smooth performance of the sugary R&B song. We’re obsessed with Mỹ Anh’s vocals as well as the brass section on this track that make it feel so grand. Also, her bow earrings and hairstyle that match the ginormous bow on her dress are just too cute.
