About to Blow… Florrie.
Posted in New Artist, New Music on August 16th, 2010 by The Prophet
Florrie is one of those artists that I’ve been meaning to do a ‘new artist’ post on for a few months now, but have just been either too lazy or too forgetful to actually bother following through with. Just when I thought my Florrie post would fade into oblivion with my never-published Florence + the Machine concert review, the girl drops two brand new songs in one week, finally giving me the motivation to get off my ass and earn those Google Adsense dollars.
The 21-year-old Brit got her start after being hired as a drummer for production powerhouse Xenomania, which led to gigs with Girls Aloud, The Pet Shop Boys and more. She quickly worked her way up through the ranks at Xenomania, going from drummer, to singer, to songwriter, eventually becoming a full fledged a programmer and remixer.
After conquering Xenomania, Florrie turned her talents over to herself, and started working on her own music. She quickly found her partner in crime in French disco DJ Fred Falke, and with Xenomania in tow, she started cranking out a series of future-smashes.
The most interesting part of Florrie’s story is that, not only is she not signed to a label, but she currently has no plans to make it happen, either. Her plan is to simply continue creating killer tunes, throwing them online for free, and then watching her fanbase grow.
All those other new girls I’ve posted on recently… Well, I’ll just say that Florrie is every bit as good as them, if not infinitely better.
So far Florrie’s had a handful of tracks out, and even more remixes, but I can’t flood this post with everything she’s ever done, so I’ve selected two of her best older tunes and paired them with her two latest releases from this week.
The first of the two new efforts, “Give Me Your Love”, was accurately described by the MuuMuse blog as “as much of a solid disco smash as it is an indie-rock track in disguise” — a perfect description. The second, “You Wanna Start Something”, begins with a funky guitar riff, before exploding into a Girls Aloud-esque blaze of glory on the chorus.
Florrie is really, really amazing. Oh, I forgot to mention that she even remixes her own songs. So cool.
