LUISA – Colourblind: A Liquid Journey Through Longing and Loss

There’s something about Liquid Drum & Bass that makes it the perfect soundtrack for existential musings at 2 a.m. Maybe it’s the fluidity, the rolling basslines, the ethereal melodies that feel like they’re just out of reach. Kind of like the things we want most in life. LUISA’s latest track, Colourblind, out on the 24th, is exactly that kind of song: wistful, emotive, and tinged with a sense of longing so palpable you can almost taste it.

LUISA, a classically trained musician with an arsenal of instruments under her belt – piano, clarinet, flute, saxophone – brings a refined touch to electronic music. And her backstory? It’s got layers. A military spouse, a world traveller, someone who absorbs cultures and spits them back out as sound. She’s working on an album, set for 2025, promising a blend of traditional Eastern European influences and deep electronic textures. And if Colourblind is any indication, we’re in for something special.

The Sound of Longing

Produced and mixed by LUISA herself, with vocals by Fiverr talent Sam Adler and mastering by James Hoskin, Colourblind is a Liquid DnB track with a core theme of yearning. Longing for someone or something just beyond reach. But here’s where it gets interesting. LUISA’s children are colourblind, a genetic condition that naturally found its way into the song’s metaphorical landscape. She wrote the lyrics while in Covid isolation, a time when everything felt like it was slipping away. The result? A hauntingly beautiful piece that pairs orchestral elegance with the pulse of electronic vibrancy.

Colourblind: Lyrical Desperation Wrapped in a Dream

The lyrics read like the inside of a mind trapped in longing. “Aching, for dreams you cannot give – Spinning, tangled webs that we both live“.

The verses float over the beat like a half-remembered dream, while the chorus hits with a clarity that makes your gut clench: “In your arms, I see the light, In your eyes, the fire ignites, Painting rainbows in my mind Without you I’m colourblind” It’s the kind of writing that sneaks up on you. One second you’re nodding along, the next you’re staring at the ceiling, thinking about people you shouldn’t be thinking about.

LUISA – Colourblind – The Beat That Carries You Somewhere New

LUISA is a storyteller, weaving emotions into audio textures. Inspired by Keeno and Etherwood, she crafts soundscapes that pull you in and refuse to let go. With her label, Perlinka, ensuring her music gets the reach it deserves, there’s no doubt she’s carving a space for herself in the scene.

Colourblind is a song for those quiet, reflective nights. A reminder of the things we long for but can’t have. And, like all good Liquid DnB, it lets you float in that feeling just long enough before the beat carries you somewhere new.
