SEVEN
SEVEN IS A SINGER, SONGWRITER, AND PRODUCER BORN IN NASHVILLE TENNESSEE, RELEASING AN ALBUM WITH AN INTERESTING ELECTRO-SYNTH FUSION TO POP UNIQUE OF HER OWN. COLORATURA WAS CONCEIVED IN 2017 WITH ITS FIRST EVER RECORD MADE IN 2020. INSPIRED BY THE ABSTRACT MUSIC SHE CONCEPTUALIZED, SEVEN SET TO CONCRETIZE THE MUSIC WITH HER VERY OWN COMPOSURE. AFTER YEARS OF SELF-TEACHING HOW TO PRODUCE AND RECORD, COLORATURA HAS CONCRETIZED INTO ITS OWN FORM- AND IS SCHEDULED TO RELEASE IN SEPTEMBER OF 2025. THE ALBUM CONSISTS OF THEMES SUCH AS SELF-ACTUALIZATION, ROMANCE AND DESIRE, LOSS, DISILLUSIONMENT, REBIRTH, DANCE, AND ESCAPISM.
THECREATION OF COLORATURA
ONE OF MY BIGGEST BLESSINGS IN LIFE WAS A FRIEND TURNING DOWN MY REQUEST TO PRODUCE MY DEBUT ALBUM, COLORATURA. AT THE TIME IT SEEMED LIKE AN OBSTACLE, AS I HAD A VISION I DESPERATELY WANTED TO SHARE, BUT NO KNOWLEDGE OR RESOURCES TO CREATE IT. I HAD TO MAKE IT MYSELF, EXCEPT I KNEW THAT OTHERS HAVE DONE SIMILAR THINGS WITH THEIR PHONE. SOUNDS SIMPLE, RIGHT? CREATING AN ALBUM FROM NOTHING IS CHALLENGING, ESPECIALLY WITHOUT THE UNDERSTANDING ON MUSIC PRODUCTION AND EQUIPMENT, AND HOW TO PLAY THE INSTRUMENTS. IT WAS JUST ME, AND I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD HEAR WHAT I WANTED TO TRANSLATE- BUT I DIDN’T KNOW HOW TO DO IT. IT TOOK YEARS TO JUST TO UNDERSTAND THAT I NEEDED TO WORK WITH A METRONOME TO KEEP PROPER TEMPO.
THE ORIGINAL CREATION OF COLORATURA DID NOT HAVE ANY OF THE SONGS THAT IT CONTAINS RIGHT NOW. WITH ITS CONCEPTION IN 2017, THE ORIGINAL MUSIC FOR THE ALBUM WAS CREATED ALONGSIDE THE JOURNEY OF LEARNING HOW TO PRODUCE THE MUSIC. IN A VAULT SOMEWHERE ARE THE ORIGINAL RECORDINGS AND ARRANGEMENTS- HOWEVER, THESE WERE SONGS MADE WITH NO UNDERSTANDING OF QUALITY AND ULTIMATELY SCRAPPED. IT WAS JUST A PURE EXPRESSION OF SELF WITHOUT THE KNOW-HOW TO TRANSLATE IT. THE FIRST SONG TO BIRTH THE ACTUAL CREATION OF COLORATURA WAS THE SONG “THE SUN”, CREATED IN 2020.
“THE SUN” WAS THE FIRST OF MANY, AS PRODUCTION FOR THE ALBUM FINISHED IN LATE 2024. THIS PROJECT STANDS AS A SYMBOL OF TRANSFORMATION AND GROWTH. THE ENTIRETY OF MY ADULTHOOD HAS BEEN ENCAPSULATED WITH THIS PROJECT, AND TELLS A STORY OF GENUINE EXPERIENCES THAT HAPPENED OVER TIME. COLORATURA IS REPRESENTATIVE OF WHO I AM AND WHAT I HAVE LIVED THROUGH. I AM EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THE ALBUM’S DEBUT SCHEDULED FOR AUGUST OF 2025, AND THE SINGLES, SUCH AS “MIAMI” AND “IF IT RAINS”, THAT WILL PRECEDE ITS RELEASE.
