Agnes Obel <\/strong>returns with bewitching new album \u2018The Meaning Of Flowers\u2019.<\/p>\n
The new album is her first in over six years, and it was born from pregnancy, motherhood, and extensive sessions at her Berlin studio.<\/p>\n
Citing the poetry of Enheduanna (the world\u2019s first named author) and the ideas of philosophers Hannah Arendt and Emanuele Coccia as points of inspiration, Agnes Obel\u2019s brooding new chapter is also informed by Danish synth pop from the 80s.<\/p>\n
Out now, \u2018The Meaning Of Flowers\u2019 is all hushed atmospherics and subdued tones, a song cycle that allows the Danish-born, Berlin-based artist to relish under-statement.<\/p>\n
The cycle of life underpins the songwriting, with pregnancy and a desire to re-root herself forming and over-arching theme.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wanted to see if I could get close to the feeling of a new beginning,\u201d says Obel of the title track.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cIt shows itself in the experience of interconnectedness and a new expansive feeling of love that will never end. The point when the inner monologue becomes something interactive and expansive \u2013 beyond your own life \u2013 and opens your mind to a new and richer notion of life.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tune in now.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
