Color Theory joins My Manifesto in "Without a Doubt"
"Without a Doubt" by Color Theory, the synth-pop project of Brian Hazard in collaboration with My Manifesto, is a dark and reflective song.
"Without a Doubt" combines sleek synth-pop production with a deeply emotional sense. The song’s smooth, atmospheric synth layers create a moody scenery, while Hazard’s deep and soft, at the same time, vocals lend an air of melancholy and exposure to the track. The collaboration with My Manifesto adds a mysterious, almost haunting edge, as the production delves into deeper, darker sonic textures. The driving beat and infectious melody are characteristic of classic synth-pop, but the song's darker tone and introspective lyrics give it a more somber, reflective vibe.
Lyrically, "Without a Doubt" explores themes of uncertainty, emotional struggle, and inner conflict, all delivered with a sense of quiet intensity. The interplay between Color Theory’s polished production and My Manifesto’s enigmatic contributions results in a dynamic, layered soundscape that feels both smooth and shadowy. The song strikes a balance between catchiness and emotional depth, with an atmosphere that lingers. Color Theory manages to blend classic synth-pop elements with darker emotional narrative.
In the age of Napster, Color Theory, aka synth-pop artist Brian Hazard, found success after his track “Ponytail Girl” was widely shared after being mistaken for a lost Depeche Mode B-side. Since then, the Los Angeles-based songwriter and producer has gained more than 5 million plays across streaming platforms with his own distinctive brand of melancholy synthwave.
Besides winning the grand prize in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, Hazard has found his quirky, nostalgic songs being placed in popular video games (Just Dance, Rock Band) and TV shows (MTV’s The Real World).
