The album features vibrant, anthemic tracks like "Crossfire" and "Jilted Lovers & Broken Hearts," blending introspective lyrics with lush, expansive arrangements. “Flamingo” explores themes of personal reflection, love, and identity, set against a backdrop of lush synthesizers and catchy melodies. With production by Flowers and Stuart Price, the album combines elements of 80s-inspired synth-pop with a modern twist. “Flamingo” was well-received for its bold, polished sound and the heartfelt delivery of Flowers’ vocals. It is a confident and memorable debut, showing his versatility as both a songwriter and performer, and stands as a testament to his ability to blend both personal and universal themes in his music.[info sheet from distr.]
