Swedish / American husband-and-wife, Indie-Pop duo Flora Cash have shared their new single, “Baby I Love You,” the latest track to be released from their new album out  October 10, 2024 on the band’s label Flower Money Records.  

On the song the band says:

Lately, we find ourselves unexpectedly drawn towards a metamodern approach in our songwriting. It seems to be a natural progression of our thinking. Through that lens, ‘Baby I Love You’ explores a concept of love that doesn’t need reasons or explanations. From the lowest lows to the highest highs, it just is. It’s messy and confusing. In love, sometimes not making sense makes the most sense.

We tried to capture this in the production as well, mixing different styles in a way that feels right for the message we’re conveying. Dakota Holden’s pedal steel performance adds a unique country flavor but the song doesn’t settle into a single genre. It’s different from much of what we’ve done in recent years, with a brighter, more positive feel that came as a bit of a surprise even to us.

Flora Cash is a musical duo composed of Shpresa Lleshaj and Cole Randall. Lleshaj, forced to flee war-torn Kosovo, and Randall, who endured a turbulent upbringing with an incarcerated father, found solace together in music after their paths crossed on SoundCloud in 2012. They united in love and music, marrying in 2013.

After signing with Icons Creating Evil Art in 2015 and receiving Swedish Artist of the Year and Swedish Newcomer of the Year nominations, they released their full-length debut, Nothing Lasts Forever (And It’s Fine), in April 2017.

Joining Sony Music’s RCA Records, they made their television debut on The Late Late Show with James Corden in 2018 and followed that up with a performance on Live with Kelly and Ryan the following year. Their music has been featured in TV series like The Good Doctor, Locke & Key, and Janet King.
