Fla.andrei’s all-encompassing approach to music allows the artist to approach each idea as a blank canvas, allowing the artist to hold a grab-bag of styles to employ. On their new single, “Stilettos,” the artist steers directly toward nostalgic soul. Their acrobatic vocals are given a blanket of silk to parade around in as their tendencies to soar are only anchored by the twinkling keys and blaring brass. The quick yet potent tune fits plenty of layers in its runtime, a testament to Fla.Andrei’s production prowess. The lyrics are kept simple and direct to compliment the slow-burning nature of the arrangement, striking a grey area between familiar and refreshing. “Stilettos” feels like watching your favorite childhood movie as an adult. The velvet vocals harken back to soul’s heyday while the off-kilter synths point to more modern and daring influences. Fla.andrei’s “Stilettos” is a masterful piece of soul that sweeps you off your feet and into a more calm, complacent world; A true mind-soother for the overworked.
