WAIN Paints Life Back in Color with His Stunning Debut Album "Still Colorful"

You know that feeling when a song hits a little too close to home, not because it’s sad, but because it’s honest? That’s what WAIN’s debut album Still Colorful does from the very first note. It’s not just music you listen to; it’s music you sit with. Every track feels like a late-night conversation with a friend who gets it, someone who reminds you that even when life feels gray, there’s still color hiding somewhere in it.

Known for his honest songwriting and intricate production, WAIN has quietly built a name for himself behind the scenes, producing and co-writing over 100 songs across the U.S, U.K, and Israel. But with Still Colorful, released in June 2025, he steps into the spotlight fully, crafting a world where folk storytelling meets polished pop production. The result feels like a soft sunrise after a long night: hopeful, reflective, and deeply human.

What makes Still Colorful stand out from the sea of bedroom pop releases is its unique structure. Each song features a different vocalist and co-writer, forming a sonic collage of perspectives and emotions. The album feels alive, every track is its own heartbeat, its own little confession wrapped in melody.

The record opens with “Three or Four” (featuring YALI), a bright, upbeat track that captures the rush of missing someone. It’s a classic pop gem, catchy enough to dance to but emotional enough to sting a little. “Three or Four” sets the tone for the album’s balance between nostalgia and movement. The lyrics recall those tiny details of a past love, the ones that linger long after someone’s gone.

Next comes “Take Me Home” with Tay Lerner, a piano-driven, emotional standout. It begins softly, almost hesitantly, before building into a swelling pop moment that feels like forgiveness. Tay’s voice glides between vulnerability and strength, while WAIN’s production shifts from delicate keys to soaring beats. The song explores that tug-of-war between self-love and regret, and just when you think it’s winding down, a short rap verse closes the track with unexpected energy.

Then there’s “Hit the Ground” featuring Nitzan, which brings the tempo back up. It’s playful yet introspective, that tension between butterflies and heartbreak, fear and freedom. The production sparkles with layers of synths and harmonies, creating a soundscape that keeps you guessing. It’s one of those songs that sneak up on you emotionally even as you’re nodding your head along.

“I Wish I Could Fly” featuring Shira Vysler might be the album’s emotional core. It’s quiet, almost cinematic, the kind of song that feels like it was written at 2 a.m. in a half-lit room. The lyrics speak to the battle between fear and hope, pretending and letting go. Shira’s delicate voice and WAIN’s soft arrangements make it deeply relatable, the kind of song that finds you when you need it.

“Breathe” featuring Ophir BM shifts things slightly with a folk-country flavor. Acoustic guitars and a steady rhythm section ground the song while Ophir’s raw delivery captures that universal struggle with overthinking and identity. It’s reflective without being heavy, perfectly illustrating WAIN’s gift for turning personal stories into something collective.

“We Don’t Belong” with Mira is another highlight, a bittersweet reflection on first love and the pain of moving on. Mira’s voice trembles just enough to make you feel every lyric, while WAIN’s production keeps things simple, letting the story breathe.

As the album nears its close, “The Yellow Sign” featuring YOTAL feels like a moment of wisdom. It’s a song about slowing down, learning to wait, and understanding that not everything is meant to happen all at once. The layered vocals and understated production make it feel meditative, a pause before the end.

Finally, Still Colorful closes with “Colorful” featuring ORIAN. It’s tender and radiant, the perfect finale. ORIAN’s voice feels like a soft goodbye, reminding us that life, for all its mess and motion, is still beautiful. The song leaves you with the sense that even when things seem black and white, we all carry our own shades of color, our own stories, our own healing.

Beyond Still Colorful, WAIN continues to evolve. His upcoming collaboration with YALI, an electronic dance single titled “Got Me Crazy” (out October 30, 2025), showcases a completely different side of his artistry. Where Still Colorful leans acoustic and emotional,

Got Me Crazy bursts with energy and light, proving WAIN can move seamlessly from intimate folk-pop to full-on EDM.

At its core, WAIN’s artistry is about connection, between sound and soul, between people and their stories. Every beat and lyric in Still Colorful  feels intentional, like a conversation where no one’s afraid to be honest. It’s rare to find a debut album this cohesive, this heartfelt, and this technically accomplished all at once.

In a world that often celebrates noise over nuance, WAIN reminds us that sometimes the quietest songs say the most. Still Colorful isn’t just an album, it’s a mirror, gently asking you to look at yourself and see what color you are today.
