FlyFly drops brand new album

FlyFly is an enigmatic sonic figure who first made an appearance on YoutUbe a decade ago under the moniker MyFlywolf. Quietly forming a unique sonic vision in private, he also produced music in the hip hop sphere under a different name, while the pull of an experimental approach would later flourish.

Unveiling the FlyFly project last year, he dropped the debut single “Come In The Bed,” which was followed by his first full-length record titled Crowns. Releasing a string of singles over the following year, he now brings us his latest release with the brand new sophomore album titled Second Chapter, a 9 track LP that builds on the musical universe he created on his first record.

While Crowns was themed on the transformative journey that starts with deep reflection with the setbacks and triumphs that everyone faces en route to self-betterment, Second Chapter is centred on the continuation of self-reflection and personal development. Following the story of a character who faces their own demons, overcoming them with positivity and determination, the new album delivers a gripping storyline via a thrilling alternative pop sound.

Opened by the title track “Second Chapter,” lush choir style vocalisations craft an intriguing atmosphere as soft harpsichord style plucks float in a swelling sea of sonic textures. FlyFly’s airy vocals enter, threading rousing melodies over the moody arrangement, crafting an enveloping sound. As the beat enters, a dark pop sound takes hold with deep pitched vocal elements adding intensity to the track.

“Key To My Heart” starts with elegant piano backing and intimate vocals, spinning moving melodies as a lofty synth tone signals a pounding drop packed with punching trap-style beats, jarring synth stabs and alternative R&B-esque vocal leads. “Endboss” follows with a rattling aesthetic of granular synth buzzes, joined by an emphatic beat capped by a powerful vocal performance. Brimming with crunching synths that collide over the snap of the drums, FlyFly’s impassioned vocals serve up an enthralling electronic pop spectacle.

Other highlights on the record include songs like “Calling Love” with its sombre vibe of warm electronic pulses and subtle percussive shots. Emotive vocals dance above as the beat shifts to a laid back groove before shimmering synth tones flutter, crafting an anthemic alternative pop outing.

The album closes with “Archivement,” weaving a gritty synth-driven sound over a crisp beat to form an entrancing energy. Slick vocal leads soar above, resulting in an instantly memorable and exhilarating sonic experience for the finale of this superb new record.
