Genevieve, 'Colors'

NPR | By Bob Boilen
Published March 26, 2015 at 7:11 AM MDT

What a killer song. In fact, of all the tunes the All Songs Considered crew inspected before we headed down to Austin for SXSW, "Colors," the debut single by Genevieve, was the team favorite.

Genevieve's official video for "Colors" furthers the song's message: Find pride in who you are. Watch as the Chicago singer (formerly of Company of Thieves) and her friends go through a Wizard of Oz transformation, from black and white to extravagant color.

Genevieve's debut EP, Show Your Colors,is out now,and features the production work of Ken Caillat (Fleetwood Mac, Michael Jackson), Ted Bruner (Kesha), Boots Ottestad (Robbie Williams), Jason Gilbert (Christina Aguilera), and Mike Green (Paramore).

His persistence paid off, and within a few weeks he was hired, on a temporary basis, to work for All Things Considered. Less than a year later, Boilen was directing the show and continued to do so for the next 18 years.
