Florence Besch presents new video for «Gathering Hearts»
Today, Negative White hosts the premiere of Florence Besch’s new video for «Gathering Hearts.» The song is the perfect introduction to her soothing yet punkish sound.
The beauty of Florence Besch lies in the juxtaposition. Her soothing and velvety voice collides with energetic and almost punkish instruments. A pinch of the 90s alternative completes her sound to something one could describe as dream grunge.
Gathering Hearts is the title of this Luxemburgian-German artist, which was released last Friday. But it’s also the namesake song that receives special attention with a new video premiering here with Negative White today.
Gathering Hearts, the song, remembers difficult moments. Without sugar-coating, Besch still emphasises perseverance. «Gathering hearts, growing my skin / Collecting sparks of who we have been,» she sings, symbolising finding strength within one’s own identity.
The song’s message here isn’t convoluted; it’s staring you in the face. And it highlights the two sides of struggles: Vulnerability and even despair, represented in Florence Besch’s soft voice. And the new strength from which one can virtually resurrect from such times which is reflected in the unflinching rock sound.
