Bright and electrifying, ‘Drop Dead Gorgeous’ marks FLOUVA’s first release of the year, a contemporary electro-pop nugget steeped in visionary lyricism and evocative imagery. In it, we can appreciate the purposeful artistry that guides the Irish creative. You see, he’s quite adamant about the whole philosophy behind his music. FLOUVA strives to make inspiring music, material that could potentially uplift someone’s day, give a bit of hope where it’s missing.
Working as a completely independent producer and songwriter, the talented Derry-based musician threads the eclectic border between pop, hip-hop, and dance, crafting records that are kinetic and lively, as well as lyrically rewarding and packed with sweet melodism. ‘Drop Dead Gorgeous’ is the perfect evidence of that: bold and catchy, crowned by FLOUVA’s vocoder-esque vocals.
Delving deeper into the record and its meaningful, empowering message, Flouva explains: “I truly believe this song can change people’s lives (I don’t mean this in a narcissistic way) but seriously, I believe someone, let’s call him Steve, gets put down by the world around him all the time, people don’t even acknowledge his existence, but this record makes Steve forget about everything he had going on, and now he can just exist within the arts of humanity.” Music as escapism, music as an empowering tool for cathartic processing: that’s all part of FLOUVA’s nuanced artistry.
