XP News: MENA Artists' Iconic Performances on ColorsXStudio
We take a look at some of the most memorable showcases by Arab artists on Germany’s celebrated performance show ColorsxStudios.
COLORS’ renowned performance series was founded in Berlin by former marketeer Philipp Starcke and fashion photographer Felix Glasmeyer in 2016, and quickly skyrocketed to cult-like status. In an era where artists lean on lavish music videos, over the top showmanship and meme chasing techniques, COLORS thrived by stripping down the ornamentation and gimmicks and letting artists get back to basics, putting the artistry center-stage with no distractions.
The vivid space, combined with the performers’ always-immaculate outfits, helped COLORS slide right into an Instagram age that prioritized clean aesthetics and bold colourways.
The channel aims to promote the most distinctive emerging artists and original sounds. And seeing as it garners a whopping 40 million views per month, its career making potential is undeniable, with the biggest example being that of Gen Z breakout Billie Eilish.
Here we take a look at some of the most iconic ColorsxStudios performances by artists across the Arab world.
