To celebrate the announcement and impending release of their debut album, Yume, out March 8th, Germany’s Floya have shared a video for new single “Drift.”
“Drift” conveys a clear message: Do what you love; there’s not enough time for anything else.
“I don’t think I’ve ever written a song this honest before,” says singer Phil Bayer. “I’ve grappled with ambivalent emotions toward my career, to be completely transparent. There were moments when I doubted whether I could continue doing what I love. I turned my back on music for a while and, as a result, lost a significant part of my identity. ‘Drift’ is about precisely that: Dealing with ambivalence, overcoming doubts, and enabling.
With the vision in mind to fuse a fresh pop and rock sound with the aesthetics of EDM and world music, the Floya have set out to showcase something fresh and new. The pair found common ground with their childhood influences Peter Gabriel, U2, and Sting.
Caught between the stomping beats and airy synths of the EDM world and the overall feel of a modern rock band, Floya are a truly special duo.
