Track Premiere: Fleur - 'Hype'
Half French and half English, Manchester-based (by way of London) Fleur explores the theme of instant gratification at our fingertips on curious alt-pop single, ‘Hype’.
Fleur steers away from the bluesy upbeat soul of her debut single ‘Growing Pains’ and debuts a more chilling side to her sound on ‘Hype’, seeing her skittish and spooktastic vocal driving a jack-in-the-box sound of frosty electronics and dark, offbeat percussion.
“It’s a reflection on losing oneself through technology, the selfie obsessed generation.” Fleur explains “It’s not criticising though it’s just about being aware of how dependent we become on our devices.”
Hit play below for an exclusive first listen to the track ahead of its October 30th release date.
