FLOTSZAM – Digital Love (2022)
With her single ‘Under the Same Sky’, FLOTSZAM helped us find a sense of hope and light to chase away the darkness that pervades our lives. She is now turning her attention to the world of dating apps in ‘Digital Love’. Through the hypnotic groove of the single, she draws us into a playful, yet cynical, exploration of love in the digital age, while considering if love is written in the stars or the app algorithms.
With a slightly cosmic vibe, the single takes you into the heart of technology and the question of whether the decision of who we love is a mysterious emotional response or all due to the science of love and algorithms. Using a layered musical approach, she transports you into her thoughts and considerations, leaving you with a lot to think about. While getting you thinking, she also has you trying to escape the thoughts by heading out onto the dancefloor.
‘Digital Love’ hits you with a dance vibe through the deep and moving beats of the opening. There is an electronic vibe that makes its way through the beats that hint toward the technological flows of the lyrics. While the beats get you bouncing and bopping to their rhythm, a sweep of shimmering tones wash over them before running into the distance and disappearing. The further into the single you dance, the heavier the electronic touches become as the synths pulse and beep. There is the lightest touch of futurism laced into the electronic tones that slowly starts to rise into a cosmic vibe. All of this comes together for a rising energy that fills you with helium and has you rising off the dancefloor with it. Halfway through the single, the roll of the electronic tones hit even harder while the dancing energy is turned up and you can’t help but move in some way.
While the melody does its best to get you to hit the dancefloor, FLOTZSAM’s vocals take a rather different journey. Through her performance, we are drawn into the fight between digital connections and organic emotional ones. Her voice has an electronic edge to it that has you sliding into the electrical pulses of technology and dating apps. This is tempered with a more organic meeting of eyes across a room. The lyrics bring the fight between physical connections and digital ones to life, while enhancing the dancing movement of the melody. As she has you thinking about the algorithmic dating of modern life, she also has you dancing away from the worries as you give into the hypnotic flow of the music.
Through the electronic-tinged tones of ‘Digital Love’, FLOTSZAM considers organic interactions and algorithmic dating while getting you moving on the dancefloor. From the first note, the melody fills you with a dance energy that vibrates through your muscles and gets you moving. The lyrics bring the fight between physical and digital connections to life with an electronic flair.
