Whereas the mainstream continues to be flooded with rappers extra comfy weaponising misogyny than acknowledging how ladies remodel scars into armour, FLOUVA gave hip-hop a essential inversion with Femme Fatale. The only slips between RnB, lure, and pop with a sugary synth sheen, locking into the affirmation that ache repurposed as power is nothing in need of inspirational. Every hook is heavy with vindication, every groove slick sufficient to hold the load of empowerment with out ever letting the power drop. It’s much less a observe you hear and extra a observe that sees you, wrapping resilience into rhythm and refusing to let the previous hold its maintain.
The 21-year-old Irish artist, identified offstage as Shea Cassidy, crafted, produced, and combined the one from the confines of his bed room studio, but the dimensions of its sound betrays no limits. After catching traction along with his 2024 album Monochromatic and radio play on BBC Radio Ulster, FLOUVA continues to show frustration into gas, his songwriting rooted in each admiration and defiance.
With extra tasks already lining up, FLOUVA is intent on protecting hip-hop sincere, susceptible, and evolution-ready.
Femme Fatale is now accessible on all main streaming platforms – together with Spotify.
