Single Review: Fallen Flower

Fallen Flower is a recent collaboration between New Zealand’s Beacon Bloom and L.A.-based electronic producer Tim Enso. Beacon Bloom is a melodic house act well on their way to achieving more and more massive things, with well over 2.5 million streams across various platforms. Enso has more of a preference for muddying the waters between progressive and melodic house, as he continues on his mission to bring “euphoria-drenched melodies to the global stage”.

Going into this review, I had dinner with my beloved sister. She is a big fan of house, and knows considerably more about it than me, so I played it to her. “Oooh yeah, I like this”, she said. “This is a really nice chill vibe. This is the kind of song that gets played at around 4am, when people are just starting to maybe think about bed, and about taking someone with you. This is sexy. The lyrics are really good, they aren’t cheesy, often when house tries to be sexy the lyrics can come off as cheesy, but not this, this is really good. I like the lush layers of synths, there’s a lot of gorgeous stuff going on, here. It sounds great overall. This is totally my jam, this kind of thing”. Which was brilliant, because I seriously doubt that I could have said it any better.

This is a song designed to enchant and uplift. The production is suitably huge, and slick, and luscious. I had it on repeat on my 30 minute drive to work this morning, and it was a superb start to the day. It’s sultry, it’s smooth, and it’s beautiful.
