Ravens out, condors in: Flora Fishbach’s upcoming album “Val Synth” spells freedom with a disco twist
For her brand new album titled “Val Synth”, Flora Fishbach’s gone and turned the dial way past eleven. She’s letting her wildest musical whims run riot, like a synth-fueled fever dream on the German autobahn. The name of the game? Freedom.
And get this—she’s ditched the last name. Just call her Flora now, raw and unfiltered, like a close-up at 3 a.m. under a flickering streetlamp. Melancholy? Forget it. She’s traded Poe’s brooding raven for the blazing condor from Cities of Gold, ready to spread her wings and take us on a sun-soaked trip.
But don’t panic. She hasn’t ghosted her first loves. She’s still all about that cinematic sweep (rumor has it, two movie titans are lurking in the tracklist) and those gloriously 80s synth vibes. Think shoulder pads, hair spray, and neon. Now dressed up in rock, disco, and even a sprinkle of yodel. Yeah, yodel.
With the upcoming album “Val Synth”, Flora Fishbach invites us inside her echo chamber—a kaleidoscopic lair of shifting lights and dreamy vibes. On “Comme Jean Reno”, the legendary Big Blue actor steps in for a cameo. There’s also the heartbreakingly personal “Rends-moi ma vie” with its impossible highs, and “Machiavela”, an irresistibly catchy earworm that’ll have you dancing like no one’s watching. Flora’s stripped back, letting her guard down—like a confessional with your closest mate.
“Val Synth” isn’t just an album, it’s an odyssey through a world both whimsical and wild. A trip that demands sensitivity and a dash of guts. Mysteries, surprises, and sonic rabbit holes await. An anthem to breaking free, musically and otherwise. It’s all about diving deep, finding that raw, messy, beautiful truth, and sharing it with the world.
“Val Synth,” out September 12, 2025 via Créature.
