The track sees the artist building on her the stellar and prolific 2026
Continuing to establish her distinctive alt-pop sound but adding a more punky, aggressive edge to it in a way that makes it feel urgent and exciting, colby!‘s latest single ‘Machine’ is a track that broadens the scope of the artist’s sound and continues to cement her place as one of pop’s most exciting rising stars.
There is a really empowering feel to the track and the commanding, self-assured nature of colby!’s writing and vocals throughout. Thematically, ‘Machine’ explores the shifting allegiances that your friends and people around you have to you when it comes to seeing you growing and making things happen for yourself, and colby! stays defiant and focussed both in terms of her goals and the track itself, making for a release that oozes with star quality and a powerful allure.
“This is an empowerment song, but it’s about something really specific. When people see you growing, they want to hate on you. Then when they see you achieve what you’ve tried so hard for, suddenly they want to come back into your life.” colby! says. “It’s a very passive aggressive song, and we love that. I was going for kind of an M.I.A. vibe, and it leans more into the punk sound I’ve been wanting to explore for a while.”
