Man of Colours in Bloomington, MN

On their fifth album, the smooth
pop

is garnished with even more bouncy synthesizers and lavish melodies than their earlier work. Lead singer
Iva Davies
elaborated slant is immediately forthcoming in all the tunes on this album, but is truly the best working part behind the group.
Man of Colours
' first two tracks attached themselves to the Top 40, with
