Durand Jones & The Indications - Flowers (2025)


Flowers is a warm, deeply soulful album that blends retro textures with emotional maturity and quiet optimism. Durand Jones and Aaron Frazer alternate lead vocals, offering smooth falsettos and heartfelt grit over rich arrangements that balance disco shimmer with quiet storm restraint. The themes reflect personal growth, reconnection, and social awareness, delivered with subtle confidence. It’s a mellow, timeless summer soundtrack that feels both nostalgic and fresh.
