Behind the recording

Colours — the collaboration and studio credits

Blaxx connected “Colours” with Leroy Clarke and two Grenadian collaborators.

The conversation at Legacy House

Blaxx recalled discussing social breakdown and Carnival’s roots with Leroy Clarke during a Legacy House photoshoot. This prompted his power-soca ambitions. He described working with Grenadian writers Hitz and Kimoney as an expression of Caribbean unity.
