Kick off Pride month with a brand new song you’ll be bopping to all summer. MNEK released his new song today, Colour, and it’s the upbeat anthem that’s perfect to celebrate this community.

The song features singer and actor Hailee Steinfeld and their blend of bubblegum pop and earnest positivity is sheer perfection.

To commemorate the release of the song, the pair put out an animated lyric video and it’s adorable.

Naturally, it’s full of colors, rainbows, and the joy of finding someone who makes your world that much brighter.

Before you came into my life
Everything was black and white
Now all I see is color
Like a rainbow in the sky

So tell me your love will never fade
That I won’t see no clouds of grey
Cause I don’t want another
You bring color to my life, baby

It’s sure to get stuck in many people’s heads (in the best way) and it’s exciting to start this month on such a positive note.

Let’s get this party started

At 23, MNEK, an openly gay artist, has already written for some of the biggest artists. He’s both written and produced for the likes of Little Mix,  Beyoncé, Madonna, and Dua Lipa.

Now everyone has a chance to embrace him as his own artist.

Never one to stay silent in the face of hate, he’ll be one to watch for the personal nature of his music and his unashamed pride. His LP Tongue drops later this year.
