Los Angeles-based alternative singer-songwriter and producer Eyedress tries to mend a broken heart just in time for Valentine's Day in his latest single, "Flowers & Chocolate." The track, his first release after signing with RCA, is a shoegaze-infused single that finds Eyedress trying to make things right in his relationship.

"Flowers & Chocolate" opens with a dreamy blend of warm guitar riffs, whimsical twinkling synths, subdued percussion, and somber bass lines. Then, with his sweet, lulling vocals, Eyedress apologizes to his lover for forgetting to get them flowers and making their morning sour, asking for them not to cry and saying that they promise they'll "do it right next time." In the dynamic and droning chorus, the artist acknowledges that they "know what the problem is," and they "Could have made you smile, did the opposite / Wouldn't hurt to keep all my promises / Should have got you flowers and chocolate."

The song's accompanying music video, directed by Eddie Huang, opens with Eyedress lighting a cigarette with a burning hundred-dollar bill and cruising sun-soaked streets of Los Angeles in a cherry red convertible filled with flowers. As the sun goes down, viewers watch as he rushes home to impress his partner with the romantic gesture while beautiful shots of the city and its twinkling lights intercut his journey to his lover's front door.

The recent release sees the Filipino artist continue to make a name for himself by blending a wide array of genres from lo-fi hip-hop to post-punk to '80s-influenced goth and more to craft something that is distinctly and wholly his own. He certified himself as an artist to watch when his breakthrough 2019 single "Jealous" went viral, appearing in over one million videos on TikTok and earning an RIAA platinum certification. He kept the momentum going with the release of "Romantic Lover" the following year and "Something About You" in 2021, both of which have since gone gold. Last year, Eyedress made his Coachella debut and released his latest full-length project, FULL TIME LOVER, which featured collaborations from N.E.R.D.'s Chad Hugo, Nosaj Thing, The Drums, and more, including his partner, Elvia. In addition, the acclaimed record earned an official remix treatment from Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine, who put his own spin on the album's track "HOUSE OF CARDS."
