Out singer/songwriter Christopher Sorensen is in the mood to reflect on past loves with his new single and music video, “Rose Colors.” The soulful R&B track is a laidback ballad that takes the high road when remembering a relationship that didn’t work out. The moral here is that we can choose how to hold or frame those memories. The music video features Kahlo De Jesus-Buffington as Sorensen’s ex who shares custody of their adorbs pooch, played by Ripley the dog in a star-making turn.

It seems the two just needed a helping paw. https://youtu.be/2KhSs7pNg3g I recently got the chance to ask the talented Mr. Sorensen what sparked the idea for the song and a couple more things I get curious about. The Randy Report: What was the inspiration behind “Rose Colors?” Christopher Sorensen: I’ve never been good at holding grudges. I look back on dysfunctional relationships and remember only the good and not the bad. Sometimes, we’re tempted to return to those feelings, but is it better to keep them as fond memories? That was my concept behind “Rose Colors.” TRR: What do you do outside of music to stay on balance? CS: I’m a screenwriter and film producer, which helps when I wear a million different hats on music video shoots. But…to stay in balance, I love the occasional tequila and hot tub night. https://www.instagram.com/p/CO9AXnIh_pX/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link TRR: What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given? CS: The best advice I’ve been given is to just keep going and stay open to all opportunity. You never know what door will open.
