US sibling trio We Three have shared their new single 50 Shades of Pink ahead of a Manchester gig in October.
The group will headline three UK shows including Manchester Academy 3.
New single 50 Shades of Pink finds We Three contemplating rejection, identity and loneliness. Speaking about the single the band’s frontman and primary songwriter Manny Humlie said, “50 Shades of Pink has always felt like a dream to me. A dream I didn’t want to end. When you’re in love you become obsessed with the smallest, sometimes random details of your person, such as pink hair. I wanted this song to be bursting with chaotic obsessive energy, like that moment you drink too much and start saying exactly how you feel. Like wanting to move out of the country together and leave your friends and family behind.”
The three siblings have shared an extraordinary journey. They were raised in a religious family, which separated them from the ordinary experiences that most teenagers go through. Manny was nudged into an early marriage when others were having their first dates, leading, unsurprisingly, to an equally early divorce. The death of their mother opened up a wider world of both personal and musical experiences, but also the punch of grieving and loss. It was a time that We Three documented in their first breakthrough moment ‘Heaven’s Not Too Far,” one of the band’s biggest songs to date.
The track is accompanied by a video which has premiered today.
