With lyrics about murder and strippers, Jehnny Beth's new single 'Flower' keeps you guessing. See why it's a Song You Need to Know
’s new song “Flower” finds her whispering, “The flower field with murder,” and after that you can’t help but be curious about where this is all going. As the former frontwoman for Savages, Beth has always been prone to big, showy drama and, if “Flower” is any indication, her upcoming solo LP,, will be a dusky, expressionistic affair — the kind, like with “Flower,” that begs you to keep listening. And if it’s like “Flower,” it’ll be worth it.
The song is supposedly about a stripper who dances at the L.A. “bikini bar” called Jumbo’s Clown Room, not that that has anything to do with a flower field of murder. It begins with a dub explosion before settling into an easy groove, with light trap-beat accents — you’d think it was strip-club music if it weren’t for a gently strummed guitar and Beth singing, “She’s not easy to love.
When the song ends, you still have questions. Will the woman Beth is singing about ever show her true self? Is getting closer the objective or is something bigger at play here? What’s with the murder stuff? But given the subject matter, you’re supposed to want to know more.that when she wrote “Flower,” it was simply to write a love song for a woman. “To me, women were in the distance, so it’s been liberating to write about them,” she said.
