Kenya's Song Race Season One
Episode Four: COLORS of Your Life
For this theme I had to send a COLORS performance. I could have taken many days to shortlist my choice, but once I saw this song I was immediately sure I would send it.
Meet    anaiis, a London-based French-Senegalese RnB singer whose COLORS performance of her song 'Vanishing' grabbed me instantly. The way the instrumentation keeps you on your toes with its unique 10/8 time signature, and the way anaiis' vocals ooze over the backing, from sultry lows to highs reminiscent of Solange.
It is truly a song for the ages, and I sincerely hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

 Kenya's Song Race
S1: E4- COLORS of Your Life
(Send a COLORS SHOW performance that isn't from the New Opera series.)
Who is ready to be Mesmerised!
The COLORS perfomance that I have chosen for this challenge is Quelqu'un d'autre by the Artist TESSÆ.
 TESSÆ - Quelqu'un d'autre
TESSÆ is a French Urban Pop Singer from Marseille, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France.
TESSÆ started singing at the age of 6 with her Sisters and her Mother. Not only is TESSÆ a singer, she is also a Pianist and a Guitarist so she Bathes in Music both Physically in the world and her Genes with her Family.
TESSÆ is such a Magical singer, she can sing a variety of Genres such as Pop, RnB and Dark-pop music in her Own Original way. She's inspired by artists such as FKA TWIGS and Billie Eilish.
The song that TESSÆ sung for the COLORS channel is "Quelqu'un d'autre". The reason why I chose this is because it stands out on its own two feet and I was instantly dragged into this with her gripping, suttle voice and theres a natural growth in the song musically and within TESSÆ herself. It's Lyrically a beautiful piece of music as well; In the song, she highlights how she wishes she swapped lives with someone who is happier and getting the things TESSÆ wished she had and hopes they felt how she is feeling about life.....sad, broken and depressed.
However the song grew to a much bigger meaning when I found out that TESSÆ released a book a few months ago which discusses her childhood which she discusses how mental health was a big impact on her when she was younger. Here is a quote from her book.;
"Going to school with a lump in your stomach, head down, enduring remarks and teasing about your appearance, about your outfit. To shut up. To hear that one is weird. Find refuge in his room, suffer harassment there on social networks. Crying, not sleeping a night and going back to class. Hit the walls. This was TESSÆ's childhood."
In this book she wants to highlight the trauma and suffering she went through and tell everyone to speak up about any of their mental health problems they are having and stop the stigma that is hurting so many people.
I feel that this song and her book of her childhood have a lot in common and its like this song is highlighting her Mental health trauma she went through when she was younger and to wish she was someone else just now that was living a happier life.
"In someone else's shoes
I would like to feel these things
meet eyes once
feel my heart start beating
In someone else's shoes
I would like to feel these things
Meet a look once
Feel my heart start beating"
Musically, the song is beautiful and very touching and even if you didn't understand what she was singing about if you dont know French, you can feel what she is singing, her voice is so suttle yet Magical and brings you in like an enchantress.
However its the last moment at the end that makes me go wow! With her final line;
"Feel my heart that......"
Its a wave of sound after the final words which feels like a inner release of emotion from TESSÆ. Letting go of her feelings and when she is floating up to the sky its like these feelings are leaving her body and shes ready to move onto a happier chapter in her life!
COLORS studio allows people that are wanting to become stars to start emerging to the spotlight. TESSÆ was bullied in school for trying to do become a singer. But COLORS allow TESSÆ to have her opportunity, she is now telling the bullies that she can do it and singing about her treatment in school is the pinnacle at her standing up to them! 
We can all relate to this, I thank TESSÆ for bringing this message up in such a beautiful way!
Lyrics;
[Verse 1]
Deep down, tell me what's wrong?
I erase the doubts, I erase the evils
I'm probably trying to do something else
The road, I saw reeds there
Words of love, a warm touch
A sweet smell, skin against skin
[Pre-chorus ]
Would I have been so stupid to have believed in all these signs?
Of clinging to tomorrow's wishes?
What if love has a price that has a clear idea
Of the pain that ensues tomorrow?
[Chorus]
In someone else's shoes
I would like to feel these things
meet eyes once
feel my heart start beating
In someone else's shoes
I would like to feel these things
Meet a look once
Feel my heart start beating
[Verse 2]
Deep down, where is my renewal?
I observe life, I see from above
Those who get away with it, which is beautiful (which is beautiful)
But the water that runs down the cheeks
Of the innocents with hearts so soft
I'm losing patience, yes, I'm losing my taste (I'm losing my taste)
[Pre-chorus]
Would I have been so stupid to have believed in all these signs?
Of clinging to tomorrow's wishes?
What if love has a price that has a clear idea
Of the pain that ensues tomorrow?
[Chorus]
In someone else's shoes
II'd like to feel these things
Make eye contact once
Feel my heart beat
In someone else's shoes
I would like to feel these things
Make eye contact once
Feel my heart start beating
In someone else's shoes
I would like to feel these things Make eye contact
once Feel
my heart start beating
In the skin someone else's skin
I'd like to feel these things
Meet eyes once
Feel my heart beating
[Outro]
Feel my heart that—

Hey little yummy gummies. So today I got to explore the wonderful music channel COLORS! So many of my inspirations have performed there! Hopefully someday I will be invited to perform one of amazing poetry pieces xx
Today I present you one of my favourite tracks! The delicious "Birdsong" by Rosie Lowe is a beautifully seductive track. Through the lyrics Rosie describes the tantalizing draw of an inescapable romance that may have questionable results. The live performance on COLORS clearly demonstrates Rosie's soulful vocal and she gives you the full essence of the song by drawing you into the beauty of the track.
Lyrics:
Baby, the love that you give
Takes me to Heaven, to paradise
(Birdsong)
Every note that you sing
Tells me I'm doing something right
(Birdsong)
Never wanted to please somebody
So much in my life
('Til the early morning)
'Til the early morn'
I'm waiting to hear your birdsong

Pongo as my entry this week. As I was looking at some performances, this one immediately stood out to me for the energy that the singer brings to the performance, something I personally didn’t really hear from some others that I considered.
