Kolors (feat. Smino)

Monte Booker's 'Kolors (feat. Smino)' is a vibrant exploration of emotions, relationships, and the complexities of life. The song's title and lyrics are rich with color imagery, symbolizing the diverse experiences and feelings the artist navigates. The 'purple tree' and 'brown in me' suggest a mix of influences and states of being, while the 'curly, yellow dancing on me' and 'green on me' evoke a sense of liveliness and natural connection. The mention of California and the character's openness to different sexual orientations further emphasize the theme of diversity and acceptance.

The chorus reveals a deeper emotional layer, where the artist reflects on past relationships and the pain of betrayal. The line 'My old boo left me blue, I really loved her' captures the sorrow and heartbreak, while 'so cold and so cruel, so many colors' suggests the multifaceted nature of human emotions and experiences. The use of 'colors' here metaphorically represents the different shades of feelings one goes through in life. The artist's distrust in others, expressed through 'Play hoes like pro tools, can't never trust 'em,' highlights a sense of disillusionment and self-protection.

As the song progresses, the artist contemplates his desires and ambitions. The desire for a 'Coupe with a lil boo' and the acknowledgment of 'different colors' in people reflect a yearning for companionship and the beauty of diversity. The line 'Life ain't no black and white, beautiful peepin the different colors' underscores the complexity and richness of life. The artist's busy life in music and the anticipation of returning home to loved ones add a personal touch, making the song a relatable narrative of balancing professional and personal life. Ultimately, 'Kolors' is a celebration of life's varied experiences, emotions, and the acceptance of oneself and others in all their colorful forms.
