beaming find radiance in restlessness on new single ‘colors’
beaming, the collaborative project of Derek Ted and Braden Lawrence has shared ‘colors,’ the second single from their upcoming self-titled debut EP, out June 13th via Rose Garden.
Featuring backing vocals from Kississippi’s Zoe Reynolds, ‘colors’ contrasts its introspective theme with an upbeat, energetic pulse. While the duo’s previous single ‘slow sinkin’ (featuring Field Medic) leaned into nostalgic melancholy, ‘colors’ is bursting with motion—a vibrant indie pop track layered with folk textures and emotional urgency. With a propulsive beat and shimmering synths, the song explores how to break free from stagnation and rediscover joy.
“‘Colors’ started when Braden recorded a keyboard sample at a Goodwill while visiting his family on the East Coast. We pitched it up, dropped in a beat, and the song started writing itself. It’s about making a change in your life, stepping back, and finding what really makes you happy. We wanted it to feel intense and driving—kind of shouty—but still have emotional depth under the surface.”
‘colors’ is out now.
