This folk-pop ballad, adorned with catchy melodies and acoustic instrumentation, serves as a poignant reminder of the beauty found in embracing one's true self.

Recorded at RoomTo in Barcelona and produced by the esteemed Jason Boshoff (known for his work with Lisa Hanningan, David Gray, Paloma Faith) and Oscar Braga, "Be Yourself" opens with a restrained acoustic guitar and vocals, setting the stage for a musical journey that gradually unfolds with each passing moment.

The warm and inviting vocals draw listeners in, infusing each lyric with a sense of intimacy and authenticity that is both comforting and empowering.

As the song progresses, the instrumentation gradually builds into something slightly more rock-focused, adding a sense of urgency and energy to the narrative. There’s even some lovely soundscapes looming in the background too. Yet, despite its dynamic evolution, "Be Yourself" remains immersive from start to finish, offering listeners a glimpse into the transformative journey of self-acceptance.

Colourshop's "Be Yourself" is more than just a song—it's an inspirational anthem that speaks to the soul.
