Colourshop celebrates timeless beauty and charm with new single “Florence”; after releasing “Be Yourself” earlier this year, the anagnino Alfredo Salvati – in art, precisely, Colourshop – returns with a new enchanting release.
“Florence“, this is the title of the single a strong message in its apparent fairytale atmosphere: beauty is not a superficial and vain manifestation. Beauty is a necessary and intrinsic quality of the world around us and we, as human beings, should appreciate it in all its forms. Beauty is not instrumentalit has no purpose, it is an end in itself, something to contemplate.
“Florence“, full of folk-pop melodies, references to the “chanson française” and Italian pop music of the 60s, is produced and performed by Jason Boshoff (Lisa Hannigan, David Gray) and Oscar Garcia Bragado and recorded at the “RoomTo” Studio in Barcelona in 2023.
The song narrates a magical walk through the alleys of a Renaissance city – Florence – surrounded by the beauty of the architecture and seduced by the elusive presence of a woman (the personification of Florence?).

“You smile then walk away, I won’t ask you to stay” is the expression of the volatile nature of beauty, we cannot grasp it, make it ours, we can only be enchanted by it.
“Playing on my guitar, a tune from the old times / In this old town, that I just found, / Renaissance all around” reflects a nostalgic yet fresh perspective on the beauty of Florence.
The Italian refrain, “Love, you know, I want you but you’re not there“, it’s not as much of a sappy love line as it might seem at first glance, but the culmination of the continuous and desperate desire for beauty. After all, without beauty we are reduced to mere logic, an expression of a modern world that prizes utility over feelings and emotions.
To promote the release, Alfredo Salvati (Colourshop) embarked on an extraordinary bike tour starting from his hometown, Anagni. Left this morning – 18 June 2024 – from the Cathedral of Santa Maria Annunziata, Alfredo will travel through historic cities steeped in the beauty he celebrates in “Florence” such as Rome, Florence itself, Siena and many others. This journey not only highlights the themes of the song, but also highlights the beauty of nature, art and architecture that we are fortunate enough to experience.
To pursue Alfredo through this extraordinary musical and cultural journey, just connect with this site or follow Colourshop’s Instagram page.
Available on all major streaming platforms, this folk-pop gem will win hearts and inspire listeners to embrace the beauty around them.
Colourshop will release new singles throughout the year.
