The Pink Nostalgia – Flowers (2022)
Bringing a burst of retro synths, The Pink Nostalgia is taking a different turn from his last release with ‘Flowers’. With an upbeat rhythm and breakout instrumental solos, the single offers a hit of liberation as he taps into new beginnings. The catchy single is a perfect summer song packed with lyrics that show a delightful maturity as they look to bury the past and move onwards to the future.
The expansion of his sound through this single showcases his versatility and lets you know that this alternative pop singer has a little something for everyone. Over the last year, he has been gathering serious traction in the music world from his previous releases and live shows. With more music to come and a highly anticipated show at The Troubadour, there seems to be only one way he is going and that is up.
There is a slow awakening of synths in ‘Flowers’ that leads you to a really upbeat movement. The drums have your feet tapping with them as the instrumentation sways from side to side. It is a mellow flow to the music that merges with a sunny summer vibe. The indie pop touches of the music put a smile on your face as you lightly bop to the single. It is a really easy melody that you can ride through an endless blue sky. The new beginnings of the lyrics shine in the melody as you feel the pressures of the past slide off your shoulders as you soak up the good vibes of the music. There is no way that you can listen to this melody and not feel light and brighter for having heard it. While there is a wonderful retro wash of synths, the instrumentation breaks free for a tender swell that soothes your soul, before the saxophone soars into endless happiness.
While you are soaking up the good vibes of the mellow melody, The Pink Nostaglia’s vocals reflect on a past love that ended in pain. The opening verse touches on the vulnerability of the relationship and the pieces of his broken heart that no one can mend. This pain is shrugged off with the help of the melody as you move toward a new beginning and forget about the past. There is a wonderful metaphor used throughout the single of laying the past to rest and not returning to bring flowers to the grave of the past relationship. If you need to say goodbye to an old relationship, this is the song that will give you the push you need.
With some mellow synths, an outstanding saxophone solo and lyrical metaphors, The Pink Nostalgia has you saying goodbye to the past and moving to new beginnings in ‘Flowers’. From the slow awakening of the synths to the soaring saxophone solo, the melody brings a mellow flow that has you soaking up happy vibes. His vocals provide the journey to a new beginning as he buries the past and moves on without any backward glances.
