Soms weet hij me zo te raken, andere keren dan weer helemaal niet. De jonge Wyatt Flores klinkt enerzijds zo enorm commercieel en toch is er iets in zijn songs/muziek dat het 'platte' erg overstijgt. Zijn nieuwe single kan ik dus niet zomaar aan me laten voorbijgaan. Straf stukske songwriting en heel oprecht vertolkt!
Welcome To The Plains verschijnt op 18 October 2024 via Island Records.

Reflecting on the song, Flores shares, “The story behind this song is just me having to take a mental break back in February and coming back to it all realizing that I need to take care of myself before I can even think about taking care of others, and that’s all I ever wanted to do. So I did have to take a step back and this song is an apology from me to my fans.”
Born and raised in Oklahoma, the Mexican-American artist has established himself as one of country music’s most vital voices with his three previous EPs, including Half Life, which was released earlier this spring. Receiving widespread critical attention, The New York Times praised, “Wyatt Flores…Has a Superpower: Tapping Emotions,” while NPR Musicdeclared, “a fantastic record…he is making a big splash out there” and Holler proclaimed, “Flores at his gloriously life affirming, existential best.”
