Riley Max Shares New Single ‘Yellow’
Colorado-based singer and songwriter Riley Max shares her brand new single Yellow, the follow up to last month's gem Blue.
Taken from her debut album ROY G BIV, which is out now via Pictoria Records, Yellow is a heartwarming piece of folk/acoustic music that finds the talented artist beautifully showcasing her lovely vocals and storytelling abilities. What I like the most about the song is its raw feel as it allows us to really focus on the emotion pouring from her vocals. This is a song about a friendship that shaped her life and even though it didn't last or they're no longer in your life, you still think of them and are grateful that you've met them. The delicate, yet stunning guitar plucks create such a warm and comforting atmosphere that makes Yellow one of those songs perfect for reflective days home alone during a rainy day. A song packed with raw, honest emotion and intimacy which you can check out below!
Speaking about the song, Riley Max said,
It’s very fitting that Yellow should be the video to follow Blue, because those were the first songs that I wrote, and that’s the first song I ever actually recorded. I wanted the recording to be very minimal, with essentially no editing, because I really just wanted the song to feel really raw and really real. It’s an honest revisiting of a friendship that was really positively influential on my life, but maybe just wasn’t meant to last. I think we all have people in our lives who have very deeply affected us and shaped the way that we see the world, whether they were the first ever friend you made in kindergarten or they just happened to be in the right place at the right time when your eighth grade friend group decided you weren’t friends with them anymore. They may not be in your life anymore, but you still think of them every time that someone puts ketchup on their mac and cheese, and you’re grateful that they knew you when.
