Through Rose-Colored Glasses

Conya Doss’ latest project, “Through Rose-Colored Glasses,” reflects constant duality. “For me, generally, Rose-Colored Glasses means perceiving everything as great and seeing the positive in every situation. On the other hand, we can see someone who gives off the perception that all is great but when we look completely THROUGH the beautiful rose-colored glasses, we arrive at a mesh of complexities and imperfections. But this outlook is needed to navigate through it all.” This project is a culmination of this. The first single, “Not Trading You,” consisting of smooth rhythmic midtempo, shows that despite the ups and downs of a relationship, the good outweighs the bad. Consistent with this concept is “Long Haul”, which demonstrates unconditional love no matter what. The song “It Ain’t Easy” featuring Eric Roberson also focuses on the strength of two people who realize the relationships are not always perfect or easy to build, but love rules all and is worth it!!! nnnOn the flip side, Seeing things only Through Rose-Colored Glasses may not be in our best interest, sometimes it is necessary to see things just as they are, where the work must be put in to turn things around. This leads to the 2nd release “Wishful Thinking,” featuring B. Golden, a feel-good groove that demonstrates that things are exactly how we see them, whether or not we accept it. Another relatable song is “SandCastles” featuring OsKeyz, which stresses that all relationships have been built on a solid foundation.nnOther standout songs are “Come on and Get this Love,” “Happy Valley” featuring OsKeyz, “Show Me” featuring Lin Rountree, these grooves are so funky, you will inevitably either bob your head or repeat the hooks!!!! “Black is Beautiful” provides creative songwriting letting us know that no matter what negative portrayals of descendants of the African Diaspora, we come from a strong, resilient, and beautiful group of people. “Funny” featuring Micki Miller is another banger consisting of a jazzy tune encouraging others to be patient and true love will present itself right on time. Conya Doss, Myron Davis, and Rodney Jones serve as the main producers on “Through Rose-Colored Glasses” in addition to producers B. Golden Micki Miller. n n All of Doss’ album titles are consistently authentically steeped in the spirit of growth and resilience “Through Rose-Colored Glasses” does just that.
