The Reds, Pinks & Purples reveal new EP, ‘True Love Daydream’, a companion release to recent full-length ‘Acknowledge Kindness’ (out 25th Sep). Listen to the first single ‘Heaven Of Love (Slow Version)’ and pre-order in Limited Edition Grey Shade Cassette.
Donaldson eloquently describes the EP as “a little boat set adrift off the shore of the main album.”
Here, separated from the album, the music has space to ebb and flow, lingering in shimmering ambience. Three of the songs on the EP are atmospheric instrumentals, a slight departure from Donaldson’s classic songwriting, yet retaining the emotional depth that makes the music so captivating.
The EP is preceded today with the track “Heaven Of Love” (slow version) about which Glenn Donaldson comments,
“This was the original version of this song. Some of the lyrics and melodies are totally different than the album version. When I came to the end of making the “Acknowledge Kindness” album, I felt there were too many ballads, so I re-arranged it as more of a pop song. But this might be the true form of this tune. The ending is more emotional. The song is more feeling than thinking, so it’s hard to explain what it’s about, but it’s true that sometimes we need to imagine there’s an Earthly heaven that’s just out of reach.”
