FLOTSZAM “Under the Same Sky”

“Under the Same Sky” opens with a deep, cloudy soundscape that has your heart aches and your ears rain. That’s kind of connection and effects FLOTZSAM’s songwriting has. Her floral, smoky vocal draws you into a timeless folkloric melancholia where moods and tastes of sun, moon, and clouds all come into play. Written on a stormy day after the Brexit vote and Trump’s election, FLOTSZAM wrote “Under the Same Sky,” finding hope and dream in her music and the sky.

“Under the Same Sky” creates the long-reaching stillness while its imagination and visualizations takes off like birds flying across the continent. The track itself embraces a multi-faceted sensitivity where the modern-gazed trip-hop tiptoes in an indie-pop, singer-songwriter charm. It’s deeply emotional and connecting, where so many different feelings freely expressing themselves through her poetic vocal performance and the cries and mourns from the cello.

“Under the Same Sky” addresses moments in a world that seems to swirl back into darkness. For many, the ride of roller coaster continues on, weighing heavily on their mental health while they concerns for their safety and a tomorrow that won’t be bathed in sunshines. FLOTSZAM’s “Under the Same Sky” feels timely. Through sharing her own moment of concern and uncertainty, the singer connects and brings comfort to millions of souls who are experiencing a similar moments.

On a pure music note, the brilliance in FLOTSZAM’s music (other than her intoxicating vocal) is the way she approaches trip-hop and other influences. She brings something that feels refreshing and surprising to audiences who are used to the similar textures and arrangements in the pop genre. Digging a little deeper into the artist’s catalogues, FLOTSZAM is fearless and wild when it comes to music making.
