Make love obsessive again. flowerovlove’s newest EP ache in my tooth bows to the cheeky roots of unhinged desire. Featuring hit singles “breaking news” and “a girl like me,” it’s the soundtrack for every young lover girl who has no plans to dilute her feral passion.
Claiming her intention was to write a bunch of “cute as fuck, glitter gel pen, pop love songs,” flowerovlove’s mission surely succeeded. She’s bedroom pop’s most respected heir, and the six-track project only confirms her one-of-a-kind ability to make even the most stoic feel giddy. There's no potion more intoxicating than a young girl’s yearning, and to taste the sweet insanity of a childlike crush, even if only through the music, is a high the world needs right now.
ache in my tooth is a triumphant celebration of deciding you deserve to be in the space you occupy. Speaking about her artistic struggles while recording the album, she shares “I had massive impostor syndrome, but when I made it into the room, I remembered that no one was forced to be there. They wanted to be there. I learned that talent can be appreciated, and you are seen no matter how hidden you think you are.”
Featuring new tracks like “congrats! u did it!” and "muse,” flowerovlove has mastered a nostalgic bubblegum pop sound that simplifies even the most tangled emotions. The EP was released alongside a simple yet fitting visual for “ARE U SERIOUS?” Rocking chic tear stains and elegant black gloves, flowerovlove pleads for less love bombing and more love from her hard-to-read suitor.
The project precedes flowerovlove’s first-ever US shows, headlining Baby’s All Right in Brooklyn on November 12 and The Moroccan Lounge in Los Angeles on November 14.
