Colorful

The Zoo Crew, those groovy hippie DJs at THE ZOO radio station, are spinning the vibrant track "Colorful" by Gyasi from his album Androgyne, delighting their devoted Zoo Freaks. This song, a kaleidoscope of glam rock energy, carries the essence of Gyasi’s bold artistry. In an interview with Suits and the Platform Boots, Gyasi shared that the tracks on Androgyne, including "Colorful," were part of a cohesive vision, crafted from a batch of songs he carefully selected to reflect the album’s dynamic flow. Unlike his earlier EP Peacock Fantasies, which showcased a range of vibes, "Colorful" was chosen to contribute to Androgyne’s unified narrative, blending light and shade in a way that feels like a nod to the eclectic spirit of 1970s rock.

Gyasi hinted at the creative process behind "Colorful" during the same interview, noting that the song emerged from sessions that also birthed his single "Teacher." He initially considered holding back some tracks but decided to release them to capture the energy of his live performances. This decision gives "Colorful" a raw, stage-ready quality that Zoo Freaks likely vibe with, as it channels the glitter and grit of glam rock. While specific anecdotes about "Colorful" are scarce, Gyasi’s social media presence on Instagram and Facebook often highlights his flamboyant style, suggesting the song’s vivid title aligns with his colorful persona, complete with platform boots and retro flair.

Gyasi, pronounced Jah-see, began his musical journey in the woods of a West Virginia holler, a setting he jokingly likened to another planet in his bio on SonicHits. Born into a world far removed from the mainstream, he picked up a guitar at age six, purchased from a local flea market—a gift that sparked a lifelong passion. Those early years strumming in rural isolation shaped his unique approach, blending raw talent with an outsider’s perspective. Inspired by a wide range of art and culture, from classic rock to modern fashion, Gyasi treats his music as an all-encompassing art piece, weaving storytelling and bold visuals into his work.

His career gained traction with his debut full-length vinyl release on Alive Records in spring 2022, which included Androgyne. Posts on his X account reflect his ongoing hustle, sharing updates about tours and new recordings, like his sessions at Nashville’s Blackbird Studio. Fans can connect with him through his official channels: gyasimusic.com, Facebook, Instagram, and X. While dedicated fan websites or specific Facebook groups for Gyasi weren’t found, his growing cult following, evident in comments on his social media, shows a tight-knit community of supporters who dig his retro-futuristic sound.
