The Reds, Pinks and Purples release a brand-new single ‘New Leaf’ and accompanying video today.
‘New Leaf’ teases with a perpetual guitar line plucking at the heartstrings while a sub-melody cushions Glenn Donaldson’s nostalgic musings and marks the first taste of a new album to arrive this year.
Having written more than 200 songs and released nine albums in just six years, Glenn Donaldson has shaped a distinctive brand of emotional pop—music built for the quiet hours and the restless mind. His songs crystallise the tragic, self-mythologising kingdoms of fortunate failures, misfit heroes, and humanity in all its romanticized wonder and woe.
“People read some of the more humorous lines in my songs as irony, but honesty is funnier. These songs are just me, even if the sentiments seem exaggerated. There’s enough abstraction in the images on this one that the listener can find their own messages” – Glenn Donaldson
With each release, The Reds, Pinks and Purples continue to expand their universe of beautifully bruised pop, leaving an indelible mark on bedrooms and hearts across the world.
“Donaldson’s undeniable homage is exquisitely on the nose, one comforting swoon after another” MOJO
“Another band that could be our life.” Louder Than War
