I'd always been on the side of making up scenarios rather than being really honest about my life within my music', says Jack Kenworthy of Colouring about his second album 'Love to You, Mate'. 'This is the first time I've been able to be more honest and direct. I've not been scared of it because it's not my story. It's a shared one'. The Nottingham-based songwriter and producer's life was upended in February 2021, months before release of his debut album Wake, when his brother-in-law Greg Baker was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer. What followed was the most 'unbelievable' year of togetherness when life seemed set on fracturing the life of a young man. Despite being called 'Love to You, Mate' the album isn't concerned about Kenworthy's relationship with Greg. 'Obviously he's the heart of it and certainly those last two songs are definitely to him, but it would've been disingenuous to make a record just about my relationship with him'. 'My goal and intention with it was a message of love to (the family) and for what they did', Kenworthy continues. 'We were this tight-knit, inseparable group of friends for a whole year. a year that was both horrible and great, in a weird way. I really feel we've made this music together. Our favourite conversation is talking about Greg and this album'., Kenworthy determines: 'I've just taken the photograph'.
