NEW MUSIC | FLOWGLI RELEASES DEBUT SINGLE ‘CHERRY’

The first single from his upcom­ing album, ‘Cherry’ is the debut single from new rap­per Flowgli. Writ­ten after a trau­mat­ic sever­ing of an unhealthy attach­ment, ‘Cherry’ explores themes of aban­don­ment and the grief pro­cess, allow­ing Flowgli to explore and express his per­son­al feel­ings towards this event. Want­ing to share the pro­cess, Flowgli has been upload­ing IGTV’s to his Ins­tagram where he dis­cusses his artist­ic and emo­tion­al pro­cess as he cre­ates the album. ‘Cherry’ is a sombre but aggress­ive and melod­ic track depict­ing ini­tial shock, anger and hurt. Melody fea­tures heav­ily in Flowgli’s hook and bridge sec­tions across the album.

Ever wondered what Mowgli from The Jungle Book would look like as an adult? As a rap­per? New artist Flowgli ima­gines this through his music, present­ing us with hip hop that is both emo­tion­al but also aggress­ive and raw. He also writes and per­forms from a wide and ever grow­ing range of per­spect­ives; from Vam­pir­ic to BDSM roles that will fea­ture in his upcom­ing debut album. Flowgli dis­covered his tal­ent for hip hop as he was work­ing towards sobri­ety. “Your soul remembered rap music” Flowgli was told by a recov­ery buddy. This real­iz­a­tion also coin­cided with him dis­cov­er­ing that he has Asperger’s syn­drome (a form of ”high func­tion­ing” aut­ism). Since uncov­er­ing his, lyr­ic­al, rhythmic and melod­ic abil­ity, Flowgli has let noth­ing stand in his way and is cur­rently work­ing on his debut album which draws upon themes of attach­ment, aban­don­ment, grief, sexu­al­ity and com­mu­nic­a­tion issues in rela­tion­ships.
