Cosmicolor is the 5th studio album by M-Flo
, released on March 28, 2007 on the Rhythm Zone
label.
According to the official website, the album is the last release in the "M-Flo Loves" series, which started back in 2003 with "Reeewind! / M-Flo Loves Crystal Kay." As a response to that, the album includes a new collaboration with Crystal Kay
, symbolizing that the "Loves" series started and ends with her. Also to reflect the fact that this is the last release in the "Loves" series, every track on the album (excluding the interludes), has the word love in its title. It has not yet been announced what direction the band will take after this release, though the band have stated in a recent interview that they will not disband. Fans have also been speculating that former member Lisa might return.
The album was released in CD and CD+DVD formats, a first for an M-Flo release and features 13 tracks, excluding interludes. The DVD contains the PVs for the songs "Summer Time Love", "Lotta Love", "Love Song" and "She Loves the Cream", a DVJMIX by DJ Uppercut (a music video remix) and a feature titled "History of M-Flo", which is a mix of their previous works. The limited press edition of the CD+DVD format also features two performances by M-Flo member Verbal and past member, Lisa
at Rhythm Nation: "Come Again" and "Been So Long".
