Berlin-based singer-songwriter FLØRE embraces the darker side of love on her emotive new track Bad Medicine.

Following the release of her previous offering Dead Boys, Bad Medicine is the second single taken from FLØRE‘s upcoming new EP, ROMANIAC. The EP is said to explore toxic relationships and the irony of being in one.

With raw intensity and soaring emotion, the new track offers the thrill of infatuation but with a darker twist. Finding strength and purpose in pain, FLØRE pairs indie subtleties with dark-pop leaning production to create a slick cut of alt-pop brilliance. Her soft yet impassioned vocals dance atop a steady beat and atmospheric electronics, coalescing into a song that balances between swooning melancholia and the sharp pang of heartache.

Speaking about her new single, FLØRE explains:

This song is about that kind of person you know is not good for you, but you just can’t let it go. Being close to that someone doesn’t make you feel better, but that’s what you wanna feel sometimes. Being heartbroken, but you know you’re alive.

Sometimes feeling the pain is better than feeling nothing. I actually think there’s nothing worse than feeling numb. So this ‘Bad Medicine’ – Love is like a drug, it doesn’t make you feel better, sometimes not even in the short run, but from an artistic point of view being hurt and rejected is just too big of an inspiration for letting it be.

This song has come quite a journey. I wrote it four years ago and it had three different productions. But now it has its dress in which it’s supposed to be set free. Sometimes songs need time to grow and change. Like plants. Or humans.
