The Reds Pinks and Purples Share Worthy of Love
While Glenn Donaldson’s work generally circles the same bit of land, he continues to mix up his approach throughout his recordings. When contrasted with the earlier singles from the new Reds, Pinks and Purples LP, this one feels more like a lonesome ballad, perfect for Glenn’s voice. It opens with this quiet synthetic ambiance and a carefully plucked guitar line; Donaldson’s whispering voice settles in too, creating this magical longing. When the piano line joins up in the track, there’s a bit of a momentary bounce, lifting the song, though that, too, blends into the sound as the gentle nature permeates your listening room.

The Reds, Pinks and Purples snuck in some special new singles, so we’re grateful Glenn got those out into the world. I was stoked on new stuff from Austin’s Marry Cherry, not to mention a new Wut tune that came our way. Kicked off this playlist with my favorite tune, Teenage Tom Petties bringing in the hooks with “Night Nurse.” So, press play and see what you missed out on last week!
