Womanhood is a challenge! It has its ups and downs, but some emotional support helps. This song, however, can be the support for you! Fleur Rouge’s newest single, “Everything I’m Not”, captures the essence of womanhood. Her message of imperfection as both self-preservation and rebellion carries strong throughout the song. She shouts to the world “Hey! It’s okay to not be where society wants you to be”. With all of these meanings, it creates a perfect song to let your frustrations out when feeling down in the dumps.
Starting off strong, her vocals start the song, followed by a deep hit to punctuate her words. A beautiful metronome like sound keeps the pace flowing throughout. After the verse, a grungy yet funky melody is introduced. This creates such a beautiful alt-pop scene for her vocals to ebb and flow in the chorus! There is also so many vocal effects at play to further add to the complexities of the song, such as harmonies and glitchy-like alterations. As the song continues, Fleur shows off her bilingual side in verse two, creating a deep connection within. This then leads to the much-anticipated drop, which, when it comes, it heals every part of the soul. This song is beautifully crafted, and I cannot imagine the evolution Fleur has in store.
Fleur Rouge is a French-born yet London-raised singer/songwriter. She originally trained as an opera singer from the age of 11-16, which allowed her to tour across Europe. This also allowed her to set a foundation for her vocal skills, which blossomed within her aesthetic. In February of 2020, she released her first single “Growing Pains”. Since this, she has a firm spot in the alt-pop world. Fleur draws inspiration from many different artists as well, including but not limited to: Billie Eilish, Lorde, BANKS, and many others.
