The song beginning with the meat of the chorus “Swimming pool, baby, I could lose my cool.” It’s a preview of the fun to come, both with the song and the summer weather, perfect for swimming pool activities. “All these endless summer days, just getting lost and getting lazy in the heat waves.” Immediately, Florrie sets the tone for chill summer vibes. A carefree existence. We as the listener can have that for the next couple of minutes as we take a deep dive (Ya see what I did there?) into Florrie’s latest single. The “mmm mmm” at the end of several lines only adds to the comfort that this song seems to bring to the psyche when thinking of how relaxing being in the water is. Your body literally floats, gravity is a myth and time stands still.
“Won’t you meet me at the swimming pool? Baby, I could lose my cool.” Ah an open invitation to partake in the chill vibes. I’m not a swimmer nor an avid lover the water, but this song makes me want to meet Florrie at the swimming pool. Florrie knows the right notes to hit as she lays the groundwork for the scene she’s crafting with this person she wants to “lose her cool” with. “And I’m watching as you sink in, second guessing what you’re thinking, oh its torture.” These lines seem to hint at the both relaxing as well as torturous elements that are involved in a budding romance. You make me feel all “cool” inside but I’m also an over-thinker and have to know what you’re thinking about and if you still like me, all the time. But, just meet me here and it’ll all be cool. “For a moment, there’s nothing at all.” No feelings, no worries, no bills, no time restraints, we’re just in the water taking a pause. The music is a dreamy, 80s, disco pop delicacy, in one word, it’s groovy. I envision someone roller skating on the boardwalk with bell bottoms on and some vintage 80s curls, singing along to this song and blasting it with a boom box. Florrie’s tone adds to the overall feeling, all of the parts work in unison to help the listener relax and “lose their cool” in the best way possible. Florrie and her team were in their bag here and it’s very evident. The buildup of the bridge taking us right back to paradise after the wicked instrumental highlighting all of the parts that make this song just work so well is a great addition to an already killer song. Let us all meet at the swimming pool and activate our chill modes.
Florence, known professionally as Florrie is more than a triple threat. Florrie is a model, singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist ( you should see her videos on social media of her singing while playing drums, it’s pretty sick). The Brighton-based creative is a force to be reckoned with as this single comes after the release of her highly anticipated debut album “The Lost Ones” in June. Florrie describes her artistry as “Making uplifting anthemic pop for your lovely ears”. Our pop loving hearts enjoy reading that for sure. Florrie’s online presence boasts hundreds of thousands of followers across all mediums. Florrie has been a part of the music industry for several years now and, with the release of her first album and this latest single, suffice to say that she has found her sound. A sound we are enjoying and look forward to enjoying more of. If you’d like to hear more of Florrie‘s sound, follow her at her socials below!
