Strikingly honest, Flowerkid makes an affecting introduction with Vodka Orange Juice.

Heartbreakingly honest, Sydney’s Flowerkid makes an impactful introduction with his spellbinding single Vodka Orange Juice. Within the four minutes of the track, he takes you on an emotional journey that tracks the difficulties faced by the trans community, the feeling of isolation and alienation, and generally being shunned by those around you. Even if you’ve never personally experienced any of those events, the striking clarity with which he delivers his emotions is enough to make you tear up and feel pierced by a sharp melancholy.

Setting his vulnerable songwriting to an equally intimate piano accompaniment, Flowerkid uses his sound to bring an extra layer of emotion to the track. With crystalline piano bringing a bittersweet melody, the simple nature of the harmony allows the purity of the emotions to shine through, before rousing electronics start building up the swell of the track. Leaving you hanging for a haunting ending, you’ll be left to think about the track and draw your own conclusions.

Speaking more about the track, Flowerkid shares:

It was hugely cathartic writing this song. I hope when other people are listening, they feel the same way. If you feel like you aren’t accepted for who you are, please know that you are loved.
