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.
Goddamn. This has none stop bangers.
I swear to Christ that this group of PC Music pop stars are creating some of the most engaging, smartest, fun, entertaining and interesting pop music to ever come out.
