“Rainbow Soul (Single Mix)” doesn’t play it safe, and honestly, that’s the point. Chris Oledude steps into the chaos of modern life with a song that feels part street chant, part protest groove, part spiritual reminder that connection still exists even when everything feels on fire. It’s long, layered, and intentionally repetitive, like a mantra you don’t fully get at first but keep repeating until it clicks.
The opening lines sound almost conversational, fragmented on purpose: “Oh I’m not myself tonight… you don’t want everything you don’t want.” It mirrors the mental noise we all walk around with, conflicting opinions, identity questions, and the constant pressure to pick a side. Oledude doesn’t rush to clean it up. He lets the confusion breathe before pulling listeners into the song’s core idea: unity isn’t neat, but it’s necessary.

The Single Mix leans heavier into funk than earlier versions, giving the track a steady, grounding pulse. The groove moves forward without overpowering the message, letting lines like “There’s a rainbow in my soul, there’s a rainbow in your soul” land as something more than just a hook. It becomes a shared statement, personal, political, and human all at once.
“Rainbow Soul” openly tackles democracy, justice, borders, and grief without sounding preachy. Oledude isn’t pointing fingers; he’s inviting people in. When he repeats “Put your trust in me, I put my trust in you,” it feels less like a lyric and more like a challenge, uncomfortable, hopeful, and necessary.
