Flora Cash, the multi-platinum duo of Shpresa Lleshaj and Cole Randall, return with their latest EP, "Morning Comes," a poignant exploration of the fear of commitment and the personal scars that hinder our ability to fully love. This release, elevated by Nashville-based Dakota Holden's beautiful pedal steel, seamlessly blends singer-songwriter sensibilities with pop folk elements, creating a rich tapestry of male-female duets that resonate deeply.
The backstory of Flora Cash is as compelling as their music. Lleshaj, a refugee from war-torn Kosovo, and Randall, who overcame a tumultuous upbringing with an incarcerated father, found each other on SoundCloud in 2012. Their online connection blossomed into a real-world meeting in Minneapolis, culminating in their marriage in 2013. This union not only solidified their personal bond but also birthed Flora Cash, a musical partnership that has consistently delivered authenticity and growth.
Their journey, devoid of silver spoons and paved with resilience, took a significant turn in 2015 when they signed with Icons Creating Evil Art. Nominations for Swedish Artist of the Year and Swedish Newcomer of the Year followed, and their full-length debut, Nothing Lasts Forever (And It's Fine), was released in April 2017. The breakthrough single "You're Somebody Else" catapulted them to international fame, dominating alternative radio and becoming a viral sensation on TikTok. The song’s success led to Platinum certification in the US and multiple Gold and Platinum certifications globally.
Flora Cash's signing with Sony Music's RCA Records marked another milestone. Their television debut on The Late Late Show with James Corden in 2018 and a subsequent performance on Live with Kelly and Ryan cemented their status as rising stars. Their music, featured in TV series like The Good Doctor, Locke & Key, and Janet King, reached even broader audiences. Their relentless creative momentum saw them headlining tours and releasing new albums, including Baby, It's Okay in March 2020 and the critically acclaimed Our Generation in October 2021. The latter's standout single "Soul Mate" became a favorite for wedding ceremonies, amassing tens of millions of streams and views. "Morning Comes" continues this trajectory, offering a collection of tracks that are as introspective as they are melodious. The EP's themes of love, vulnerability, and the struggles of emotional intimacy are universal, yet Flora Cash delivers them with a unique blend of personal experience and musical craftsmanship. Dakota Holden's pedal steel work adds a layer of melancholic beauty, enhancing the EP's emotional depth.
Flora Cash's journey is a testament to the transformative power of love and music. Their ability to connect with listeners on a deeply emotional level, coupled with their unwavering artistic integrity, ensures that "Morning Comes" is not just an EP but a heartfelt narrative that resonates across generations. As they continue to release new singles like "Dragon," "Baby I Love You," "HOLY WATER," and "i'm tired," Flora Cash proves that their story is far from over. With each new chapter, they enrich the world with sincerity, artistry, and the profound power of vulnerability.
