I don't think that this tune is dry. This is not a song that people are used to hearing from Destra so its a change. I guarantee you that if you continue to listen to it after a while you will start to like it.

Yep.
Destra come tuff this year. She is showing versatility I never thought that she had - "Colours again" is a throwback to the pre-soca style 70s pan music. No this is not her roadmarch/party tune. She has other songs on her album that are along the lines of "Bonnie and Clyde", and some good crossover stuff too ("Independent Ladies" - I didn't know she coulda sing so).
