Fire Track: The Reds, Pinks And Purples – “Heaven Of Love”

“Jangle-Pop With a Pulse and a Soft Spot for the Past“

The Reds, Pinks & Purples are back with another gentle gut-punch of a song. Glenn Donaldson’s long-running indie pop project has shared the single for “Heaven of Love,” a bright-eyed standout from the upcoming album Acknowledge Kindness, due out April 24 via Fire Records.

If you’ve followed Donaldson’s work at all, you already know the move. Big feelings wrapped in deceptively simple melodies. Songs that feel handwritten but somehow widescreen. “Heaven of Love” leans into that sweet spot, floating on chiming guitars and open-hearted momentum while quietly wrestling with memory, loss, and the tricky act of staying present. It’s hopeful without being glossy and reflective without sinking under its own weight.

Acknowledge Kindness finds Donaldson easing out of the heavier emotional fog of recent releases and letting more light in. Acoustic guitars ring a little longer. Piano lines linger. The songs feel looser, warmer, and more lived-in, like pages pulled from old notebooks and reshaped into something forward-facing. Think late-night walks, half-remembered conversations, and that strange calm that comes from making peace with your ghosts.

This album also continues a wildly productive run. In just six years, Donaldson has written hundreds of songs and released nine albums, carving out a deeply personal corner of modern indie pop. His music favors melody over muscle, emotion over excess, and small details that add up to something quietly massive. It’s the kind of record you put on during the quiet hours and end up replaying the next morning.

The single for “Heaven of Love” fits the mood perfectly, letting the song breathe while reinforcing the album’s sense of reflection and renewal. If this track is any indication, Acknowledge Kindness is shaping up to be one of the most inviting chapters yet in The Reds, Pinks & Purples universe.
