St. Paul—frontman and namesake of acclaimed band St. Paul & The Broken Bones—shares his debut solo single “Colder” out now via RCA Records UK. The song previews more new music to come soon, and the Alabama vocal dynamo (a.k.a. Paul Janeway) also unveils a music video to accompany the track. Listen to “Colder” HERE and watch the music video for the song HERE.
St. Paul brought “Colder” to life alongside co-writers Mark Ralph [Demi Lovato, Raye], Tom Mann [Troye Sivan, Tate McRae], and Tom Grennan [Clean Bandit] with co-production by Ralph and Lost Boy [Calvin Harris, Ellie Goulding].
About the track, he commented, “A couple of years ago, I found myself feeling like I was getting a bit too comfortable with my creative endeavors. St. Paul & The Broken Bones has always provided me an amazing landscape to do whatever I wanted creatively to the point that nothing really scares me in that situation. That’s a great place to be, and I love working within that kind of environment; however, it’s time to get uncomfortable and scared, and nothing does that more than doing something solo. This whole project is wrapped in the idea being out of my comfort zone. I feel so fortunate to have worked with folks that guided me through that discomfort. So, it begins with this song “Colder,” a pop vocal song. Hopefully it brings folks joy.”
“Colder” revolves around glowing disco keys laced with boisterous horns and a club-ready beat. Meanwhile, St. Paul’s towering range resounds on the massive and magnetic hook, “Darling I told ya, I wanna be stronger, but the water that we tread when we’re lying in your bed’s getting colder, colder, colder.”
Directed by Dana Boulos, the accompanying visual matches the song’s energy with glitzy seventies style, swaggering choreography, and St. Paul in all of his sparkly glory.
In the meantime, he continues to canvas the country with St. Paul & The Broken Bones on an extensive North American tour. Check out the full confirmed itinerary below. Get tickets HERE.
They’re on the road in support of their widely lauded 2023 album, Angels In Science Fiction. In addition to praise from NPR, American Songwriter, and more, Atwood Magazine hailed the latter as “a raw and soul-stirring record reflecting on life’s second coming-of-age: The ascent into parenthood.”
