Doing What I Can
This song, closing the EP, is a reflective ballad about navigating life’s complexities. Colby!’s emotive delivery and simple yet effective arrangement leave listeners with hope and determination.
Colby! draws from her personal experiences to create songs that resonate deeply with her audience. Diagnosed with severe dyslexia at age 8, she found solace and expression in the creative arts. By age 14, she began collaborating with her brother, RJ Johnson, a Berklee College of Music graduate, who remains her co-writer and producer. Their dynamic partnership is evident in the cohesive yet versatile sound of Dead Giveaway.
“My goal is to create songs that people can scream in their cars to,” Colby! shares. “Music has always been my way of coping, and I want to give that same release to others.”
With Dead Giveaway, Colby! proves that she’s a force to be reckoned with in the pop music landscape. Her knack for pairing deeply introspective lyrics with upbeat, radio-ready production makes her music both relatable and cathartic.
Fans of Olivia Rodrigo and Julia Michaels will find a kindred spirit in Colby!. Her unique ability to capture universal emotions and present them through her lens solidifies her place as one of the most promising new artists in pop music.
