Flamboyant is a distillment of what has made bubblegum bass so interesting over the past few years, as well as an apt commentary on gender politics.
In recent years the bubblegum bass, PC Music's electropop is expanding with artists like Charli XCX, SOPHIE, Poppy, Hannah Diamond or 100 gecs. Dorian Electra fits perfectly into this artist's box, we heard him in "Pop 2" by Charli XCX. And now, we have "Flamboyant", his debut album. At first I did not know if it was a girl or a boy and I did not think it would change the fun of the album, which is a first success.

This whole autotune business that reeks with the album usually doesn't ... read more

While it may be coincidental that Dorian Electra gives off some King of All Cosmos vibes on the Flamboyant artwork, there's definitely a comparison to be made as the Texas artist ensures their character throughout is larger than life; just take a peek at their dominating cadence on Daddy Like and Mr To You or their unstable eccentricity on the Dylan Brady produced Musical Genius if you're in any doubt. While the personality of Flamboyant is where it derides a great deal of its entertainment ... read more
