Introduction
American rock singer-songwriter Tristan Tritt continues to showcase his storytelling depth and musical range with the release of his new single, “Rose Colored Lenses,” which dropped on July 11, 2024. The track serves as the fourth single from his highly anticipated debut EP, What Are We Doing?, expected to arrive later this summer.
Written by Jerry Fuentes and Tristan James Tritt, and produced by Jerry Fuentes, “Rose Colored Lenses” delves into a haunting narrative beneath its melodic surface. Blending acoustic textures with a subtle pop-rock edge, the song paints a vivid picture of allure, escape, and inevitable decline — themes that resonate deeply within Tritt’s growing catalog of emotionally charged songs.
In his own words, Tritt explained, “This song is a fictional story about a girl who finds the nightlife a bit too enticing. It’s the quintessential archetype of a beautiful woman who finds her crowd within the festival and overall music scene. It starts out as fun and glamorous, but the sad truth starts to unfold throughout the song.”
As the lyrics unravel, the listener witnesses the protagonist’s descent — from vibrant energy and euphoric highs to the darker consequences of excess and substance abuse. “What was once a beautiful world seen through ‘rose colored lenses’ is now nothing more than a sinister and vicious cycle,” Tritt shared. “She’s losing herself and trying to chase that same feeling of euphoria she had in the beginning, only now she can’t.”
“Rose Colored Lenses” stands as one of Tritt’s most poignant releases yet — a track that balances powerful songwriting with sonic sophistication. With this single, Tristan Tritt continues to prove that his upcoming EP, What Are We Doing?, will be more than just a debut; it’s shaping up to be a bold artistic statement from one of rock’s most promising new voices.
