We heard about this new release from colby! and saw there was a YouTube video, so we went straight to it. Right off the bat, "Doing What I Can" hits with a funky, catchy beat that pulls you in. We loved the growling electric guitars, they set the tone perfectly. The unique and rolling musical arrangement grabs you from the start, creating a thunderous and fresh foundation difficult to find in today's musical landscape, and this was a huge win for us.
colby!'s vocals are a definite standout, showing off her impressive range and control. Her contemporary styling is undeniable, but what takes front and center is her vocal power; she commands the track, with every rise and fall matching the emotion of the lyrics. There's this incredible moment when she hits, "I'm doing what's best for me," and you can feel that energy radiating through. It's a bold declaration, supported by visuals that show her out enjoying a laid-back day with friends. The images drive home the point that happiness comes from within, and wasting time trying to impress others is just pointless.
The visuals work so well here because they’re filled with joy, friendship, and the freedom to live how you want. It all connects to the core message of thinking of yourself first, which makes life so much easier and more fulfilling. But the best part? It’s all wrapped in this dynamic mix of rock and pop fusion, with the thunderous guitars blending seamlessly with colby!’s vocals, bringing everything to life in such a memorable way.
With lyrics like:
"Packing up my luggage, I think it’s just growing pains, but you already thought I was gone, this time watch me walk away,"
The song's message of independence and moving forward really hits home. colby!'s message is empowering for this listener too! The production is top-notch also. The mix of the guitars and colby!’s voice is sharp and clear, giving the track a polished, fresh sound that makes the important moments stand out.
