After numerous UK tour dates playing headline shows, while gaining some serious acclaim from the likes of Tom Robinson, Louder Than War and many more with his bands The Loose Hearts and Wild Rossa And The ’88, LAPP now deviates in style, moving further towards a classification in the realms of alt-R&B.

KAZYAK Release Vid For “10,000 Flowers”

10,000 Flowers is an album-closing, shoegazey mood-piece that explores the idea that one might handle things differently if given the chance. The song’s simplest message is about letting go, and the first and last line are perfect bookends for the wider story. In the first line, Frey shows angsty vulnerability and admission of fault with, ‘I may not have regrets but I might do it different.’ And the closing line, ‘When are you going to let 10,000 Flowers bloom?’ can be paraphrased by asking when will you let go?
