FLOSS, the talented musician and close friend of KALTBLUT, is set to mesmerize listeners with her latest EP release, “Replica Of My Heart.” After being hailed by VOGUE as one of the most exciting musicians in the German-speaking region, FLOSS delves into speculative “what if” future scenarios reminiscent of “Black Mirror,” apocalyptic themes, and her ambivalent inner world. The Berlin-based winner of the Lollapalooza Newcomer Contest transforms romantic-bittersweet futuristic fantasies and traumatic experiences into highly hypnotic pop songs.
In a Matrix-esque world of organ scarcity, FLOSS’s zeitgeisty feminist fantasy pop collides with hypnotic and edgy sounds, and heartbreak merges with dystopia on the EP’s title track, “Replica Of My Heart.” The accompanying short film features FLOSS portraying her own clone, created by the “Replica Of My Heart” services in a Matrix-esque world suffering from organ scarcity, all in an effort to obtain her unharmed heart. The serious and personal background is made evident through the visuals, which build upon FLOSS’s first music video with Joko Winterscheidt, where they advocated for organ donation alongside Junge Helden e.V.
Each song on the “Replica Of My Heart” EP presents unique sonic landscapes and feminist messages. The autobiographical pop banger “Pussy Edible,” delves into a traumatic (yet legal) bad trip and has already gained international recognition within the LGBTQ+ community with placements on the Spotify “GLOW” playlist. The EP also touches on sensitization towards femicides (“Please Wear Pink To My Funeral”), unexpected love at first sight (“Co-Star”), and solidarity with victims of sexual violence and queerphobia (“Mirror”).
With this EP, FLOSS, a former fashion designer for heavyweights like JCDC and Jeremy Scott, demonstrates her artistic maturity, solidifies her distinctive future sound, and once again showcases her talent as a stellar pop songwriter. Inspired by the likes of Madonna, Robyn, Tove Lo, Katy Perry, as well as 80s hits such as Tanita Tikaram’s “Twist in My Sobriety” and Eurythmics’ “Sweet Dreams,” FLOSS, alongside executive producers and co-writers Tim & Matteo, transcends genre boundaries while delivering 100% zeitgeisty pop.
Be sure to check out FLOSS’s EP, “Replica Of My Heart,” and prepare to be captivated by the enchanting melodies, thought-provoking lyrics, and the magical world she creates within her music.
