about

Prominent Retrowave/Synthwave figure LAU has teamed up with British producer Zak Vortex for the first time, to deliver a Synthwave version of the Cyndi Lauper classic 'True Colors'.

LAU says about this release: 'This is one of my favourite tracks of all time, so when Zak sent me the instrumental I was blown away by it and couldn't wait to record it'.

The track is a moodier, more synth oriented version of the classic 80's song, full of harmonies and gospel background vocals, that LAU delivers powerfully in her lower range. The pulsating synths and guitars from Zak Vortex add the perfect Synthwave elements to reinvent this classic for new audiences and beyond.

[LYRICS]

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Though I realise
It's hard to take courage

In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Make you feel so small

But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow

Show me a smile then
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow

I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow

If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors
are beautiful

Like a rainbow

True Colors
