Today's Song of the Day, as chosen by Gabriel Teodros, host of Early on KEXP, is "Rose Colored Glasses" by Chris Carroll, a 2021 single on Raindrop Sound.
Seattle-based, Filipino-American artist Chris Carroll has his roots in the local hip-hop scene, as a producer for musicians like Gifted Youngstaz, Ra Scion of Common Market, Entendres, and MADlines. With his solo work, he adds a lo-fi romanticism, layering his crooner-style vocals to the mix, and crafting a track that sounds both contemporary and like a golden oldie.
