With Glee’s final season nigh, the show’s most powerful voice Amber Riley is stepping out solo.

The singer-actress, who plays Mercedes on the FOX hit, selected The Queen Latifah Show as the stage to debut her brand new single ‘Colorblind’ on.

Written by hitmakers Claude Kelly and Emeli Sande, the haunting cut sees Riley serve up vocal fireworks aplenty.

Is it a hit, though? You be the judge after the jump…

We like. Although, we’re hoping she embraces a sound that allows the power of her voice to be paired with hooks and melodies that are more radio-ready. Think Jennifer Hudson’s ‘Spotlight’.

In any case, as longtime appreciators of Amber’s talent, we’re eager to see how her musical journey plays out.
