Immersing us with intricate vocal details, singing “ooh” as textured drums set the pace, Little Miss Higgins opens her single Flock In My Head with the lyrics, “you’re the flock in my head…”
The song tells the conceptual story of someone who has really gotten into the mind of our protagonist as she sings, “you flew into the field of my mind, now you’re there all the time…”
We are obsessed with the minimalism of the track, which is so rare to experience these days in a sea of hyperpop.
Flock In My Head is taken from Manitoba-based award-winning musician and songwriter Little Miss Higgins‘ new, multifaceted project, The Fire Waltz, which is a five-part miniseries podcast and a full-length album inspired by stories from the rising artist’s great-grandmother!
Speaking on the release of Flock In My Head as a single, Little Miss Higgins says “‘Flock In My Head is different from anything else on the album. There is a huge variety of style and instrumentation throughout the songs. I feel very fortunate to have had the extremely talented, high-caliber musicians that jumped onboard. However, Flock In My Head is me and a single bass drum beat from drummer Joanna Miller.”
The entirety of the record is actually a robust 21 tracks in total. The Fire Waltz follows Eva Bersay, Little Miss Higgins’ great-grandmother on her journey to Canada from Jersey Island, off the northern coast of France, during the early 1900s, depicting the power and perils of love, the realities of a world at war and the uncertainties of the aftershocks.
The Fire Waltz album is available now on all digital streaming platforms (except Spotify) and The Fire Waltz podcast is streaming now on all podcast platforms.
