Renowned for their unique blend of afrobeat and jazz, Black Flower releases their second single, Synesthetic, from upcoming album Kinetic.
Frontman Nathan Daems recounts the inspiration behind the track: “One morning around 5am, I was lying in bed, my eyes still closed but no longer fully asleep. I heard two birds improvising rapid melodies that became vividly visual. Lines, shapes, and colors appeared instantly, representing the sounds with astonishing detail and complexity.”
Rather than simply imitating the birdsongs, Black Flower channeled the energy and joy of that moment into Synesthetic, crafting a celebration of the interconnectedness between sound and visual sensation. This synesthesia-like experience became the foundation of the track, capturing the ephemeral beauty of those early morning melodies.
Synesthetic is out today on all streaming platforms.
Black Flower is set to release their album Kinetic via Sdban Ultra on 31 January 2025, now up for pre-order!
