Today, Laurence-Anne unveils Flores, her second song to be written entirely in Spanish. Following Polymorphe and Politesse, this is the third single from her upcoming album, Oniromancie, which will be released on September 8th via Bonsound.
Composed during the writing process for Musivision, Flores’ instrumental framework exudes an aura of mystery through its layers of ethereal synthesizers and prominent bass line. The lyrics are repeated like an incantation, giving the impression that Laurence-Anne is casting a white magic spell.
The song may be interpreted as a form of feminine empowerment, a reassuring inner voice that shrugs off male adversity. Flores is about the moment when you face yourself in the mirror and call your inner strength to give you the courage to act, to get out of toxic situations. The constant battle between your two selves, the emotional and the rational, explains Laurence-Anne. Flowers are presented as a metaphor for human beings, who are capable of concealing a powerful poison beneath their deceptive beauty.
This spring, Laurence-Anne toured the UK to play at several festivals, including Wide Days (Scotland), Liverpool Sound City (England) and Focus Wales, as well as a concert in London. Her two previous singles were broadcast on some of the country's most influential radio stations, including BBC Radio 6 and BBC Scotland. The singer-songwriter will present her new album to audiences in Montreal and Quebec City this fall, with album launch shows at La Sala Rossa (as part of POP Montreal) and the Pantoum, respectively. She will also be supporting the electro-pop duo Milk & Bone for a few dates this fall and next winter. See the list below for all upcoming show dates.
