Chris Oledude is back with a new single called "Rainbow Soul" and a purpose. The song is powerful; it feels very personal and relevant. The song is a call to action for kindness, humanity, and inclusion in politics and society. It is based on things that have happened in real life and ideas that look to the future. Instead of preaching, Oledude asks people to come together in a place where they can think, be together, and see new possibilities.
"Rainbow Soul" is based on the progressive political movements of the 1980s, especially the Rainbow Coalition. It keeps the idea that policies and politics should be based on kindness. Seeing this time through his family's eyes had a lasting effect on him and changed the song's meaning. The song has existed for many years, yet it continues to sound remarkably contemporary. This shows that those ideas are still important in today's social and cultural conversations.
Oledude changes the song's look and feel, and the energy is completely unique. What used to be gospel music is now confidently moving into funk territory, which makes its message warmer, groovier, and easier to understand. This change makes the song feel more like a party than a sad one, which provides people hope instead of despair. The rainbow symbolism makes the song even more powerful by adding more general ideas about freedom, identity, and solidarity while still keeping its original meaning.
Chris Oledude's childhood home was full of music, activism, and honesty. He still uses his voice to link the past and the present. "Rainbow Soul" reminds us that we can move forward as a group by seeing our shared humanity and understanding each other. The single is a strong call to keep leading with love, color, and connection.
