Florel Daze – Holes (2021)

While feeling the bliss of being in the woods, Florel Daze was struck with the inspiration for his single ‘Holes’. Awash with the colours of the world, the single draws on emotional instability and despair which is something that most of us have experienced in the last year. While steeped in negative emotions, Daze tempers this with a positive sense of hopefulness through the consideration of patching the holes in your life and being a positive change.

As a self-taught musician, Daze brings a hunger for new ideas and sounds to his music that forms into a unique kaleidoscope of tones. With a distinct style, he excites the senses while filling you with the flow of his messaging. Creating, producing and mixing the single himself, he pushes at the boundaries of musical norms.



‘Holes’ pulls you into a contemplative state of mind through the gentle urgings of the opening melody. There is an undulating feeling to the waves of sound as they whirl around you like a pastel twister. The almost psychedelic tones are driven forward by the burst of guitars and the soaring notes that they bring. Through the music, your mind is sent on a questing journey as you search for something both in the world and within yourself. There is a lot going on in the melody that invokes a range of emotions.

Enhancing the vibes of the melody, Daze’s vocals have a gentle haziness to them. This allows them to point you in the right direction through the kaleidoscope of sound without pushing you too hard. Through the lyrics, Daze acknowledges the negatives in the world and ourselves but encourages us to fix the bad in our lives. While there is a touch of escapism woven into the music, it is more about a journey to a better place that you are in control of than running as far as you can.

Florel Daze drops you into a whirling kaleidoscope of psychedelic tones while urging you forward to a positive outcome in ‘Holes’. The melody brings a touch of contemplation to a wash of searching psychedelia. Paired with the hazy vocals, you are set to float where you want while still moving toward a positive change in your life.
