Opening with a filtered vocal layered over mellow electric piano chords, the track slowly builds, introducing a rhythmic drive with the addition of the bass. As the song progresses, it launches into a mellow house groove that invites listeners to unwind and enjoy the musical journey—a perfect soundtrack for a summer evening.
“Flooring” is the second of six songs from nothingspecial’s upcoming release, scheduled for Summer 2023. The song has a deep and mysterious sound, highlighted by a smooth and vibrant bass drop. The energetic build into the second drop takes the listener on a journey, lifting them from one platform to the next. Throughout the track, vocal chops drive the rhythm, infusing a slightly off-kilter feel that is beautifully complemented by the ever-present electric piano. The intention behind the song was to touch on the feelings of unease that many of us have experienced after a tumultuous couple of years. It acknowledges the uncertainty and existential horror in the world but also taps into the universal yearning to find solace and expression through movement and self-expression.
