Watch Gently Tender release new track ‘True Colours (Sometime I’ll Get Through)’

Lifted from their upcoming debut album ‘Take Hold Of Your Promise!’.
With their debut album ‘Take Hold Of Your Promise!’ set for release on 26th August on So Young Records, Gently Tender are giving us our latest taste of what to expect, sharing new track ‘True Colours (Sometime I’ll Get Through)’.
“’True Colours’ is a song that on the surface seems like a conversation between two people in a relationship,” vocalist Sam Fryer explains. “It’s actually based on a conversation between myself and unwanted emotions - like feelings of anxiety and depression. This is a regular theme on the record - on this song I’m studying and welcoming thoughts as if they are a long-lost friend. Showing interest in the feelings and showing them I’m willing to be patient with them. Once you welcome them in, they’re less of a threat. This is how I’ve learned to deal with these feelings that I have every day. Acceptance / invitation and patience is the key, and this song is about that.”
