Shortly after “Mayahuel” - her previous single, Flores comes back with another soul-melting tune. The indigenous Mexican American r&b artist gave us another reason to be excited for her upcoming project, due next year.
“Fool's Gold”, produced by longtime collaborator, writer & producer Maths Time Joy (Mahalia, Kevin Garrett, Sinead Harnett), is a bittersweet slow-burner. The track is meant to be a melodic ode to abandoning love when it costs you more than you can afford. FLORES’ razor-sharp lyrics coupled with nostalgic r&b melodies are delivered impeccably with the singer's gorgeous voice. She elaborates:
If you’ve ever bought into the idea of someone’s genuineness and came to realize over time that those things were only a method of acquiring your commitment or attachment….this song is that bittersweet relief and the inevitable goodbye.
