Flotsam’s debut single, “falling in love” is a captivating track that effortlessly blends haunting vocals, a dark yet inviting atmosphere, and a unique sound that’s hard to forget. From the very first note, it draws you in and immediately captures you and your feelings of the wonderful but at the same time rather scary feeling of falling in love.
The lyrics are very simple, but the messages within those lyrics are deep and powerful, which makes the songs easy to listen to and memorize. The great production and mixing, make the song sound professional. The instrumental part, based on an acoustic guitar arpeggio is a perfect example of Flotsam’s work. The melodies are beautifully layered and the energy throughout the song remains consistent, making it feel both immersive and deeply personal.
The first thing that really stands out in the track is the vocal performance of Flotsam. To us, his voice is emotional, deep and melodious, and we do not forget the tone. The dark, atmospheric soundscape complements the lyrics perfectly, enhancing the song’s message about the unpredictability of love.
What makes this song so special is the story behind it. Flotsam only started his music journey in 2022 after he left his software engineering job in Austin, Texas. His decision to teach himself guitar and music production has clearly paid off. Starting with two major chords, he crafted a lovers’ anthem that resonates deeply with listeners.
For us, “falling in love” is a standout debut. It’s rare to find a song that feels this raw yet so polished. The combination of genres and the emotional approach to the story make it quite enjoyable. This track was one of our favorites and we are really looking forward to hearing more from Flotsam. This is just the start for an artist with such a great future ahead of him.
