Cincinnati-based artist FLEA is making waves with his latest single, a track inspired by personal experiences of love, loss, and self-discovery. The song tells the story of giving one’s all to a relationship, only to receive little in return—a situation that led FLEA to embrace a more nonchalant mindset. This emotional transformation is the heart of the song, resonating with listeners who have faced similar struggles.
A Unique Approach to Sound & Production
What sets this track apart from FLEA’s previous releases is its distinct instrumentation and sampling. His producer, Cash, crafted the beat to complement FLEA’s cadence perfectly, ensuring each drop and transition maximized the song’s momentum. The result is a record that flows effortlessly, keeping listeners locked into the narrative.
The creative process for this track was melody-first—a method FLEA often relies on to establish an emotional connection with his audience. “It’s all about momentum when you’re listening to a record,” he explains. “You want the listener to feel a part of the story instantly.”
Vibes, Emotions & Island Influence
FLEA describes the song’s energy as reminiscent of the Caribbean or Jamaica, evoking a mix of emotions—confidence, independence, and raw honesty. The song paints a picture of a man standing his ground, expressing his feelings while still holding power in the situation.
Music Video Captured in NYC’s Times Square
The official music video for the single is already out on YouTube, filmed in the heart of New York City’s Times Square. FLEA and his videographer made sure to capture the electric atmosphere of the location, adding a dynamic visual component to the song’s storytelling.
