Montreal artist Flower Face has long been established as a creative who’s nuanced and endlessly thoughtful sound has provided her with a distinguished and powerful appeal, leading to the artist being showered in acclaim and reverence in the years that she has been releasing music.

The artist’s latest single is ‘Cat’s Cradle’, a deeply poignant and dark track that explores the blurred and complicated line that falls between adoration and obsession, and the damaging effects that these things can have on people in vulnerable or unstable places. The soft, brooding nature of the sound and the uneasy, atmospheric tone of the track and its distinctive aura give it an immersive and transfixing feel throughout, something that the artist has mastered over her time releasing music and developing a killer instinct.

Speaking about her song “Cat’s Cradle”, she shares, “It’s about obsession, infatuation, and the way these things can be mistaken for love. It’s dangerous, especially if you’re in a vulnerable place, heartbroken, lonely. It can feel so good to fixate on somebody, to let yourself live in a fantasy world especially when the real world doesn’t feel comfortable or fulfilling. You take an outline of a person and fill it with all of your energy and emotion and desire – and it’s destructive, because then you don’t realize how empty it is.”
