Wes Nelson delves into a personal narrative in his latest single Yellow, a track that tackles a cherished memory between the star and his girlfriend. The upbeat melodic anthem is packed with an optimistic hook-filled chorus produced by Wes, Cass Lowe and Jonathan Elkær.
The number adds several Coldplay references for pop fans, with Yellow exploring the dizzying excitement of the pair’s first date at a Coldplay concert. The number features lyrics penned by Wes, August Møller Fogh, Jonathan Elkær and Sandeep Bains, and is released through RCA.
Wes shares that the new song is a special one for him; “This is one of the most personal songs I’ve ever written,” says Wes of the brand new single. “Some of my past relationships have been in the public eye and on social media, but this one I’ve kept private. This song is the first and only time I’ll be sharing a glimpse of it. I finished writing it just before my UK tour, posted some clips online, and people were singing it back word for word at every show, which blew my mind. I can’t wait to get it out there and for everyone to hear the final version.”
Wes adds “Music is the only thing that really resonated, This is not a passion project, a whim, or a gimmick. I’m in this for the long haul.”
The track gets 2025 off to a great start for Wes, kicking off what will expectedly be a big year for the star’s music career.
