“It’s a warm, cute pop song about having a trophy boyfriend,” Saachi says. But it’s also more than that. Influenced by artists like Don McLean, Joan Baez and Suzanne Vega for their poetic storytelling and honesty, she is challenging the old fashioned notion that it is men who put women on display.
“I feel like there are many songs from a male perspective that focus on getting an attractive female partner and then being able to brag about it. I’ve rarely come across similar songs from a woman’s point of view – and there’s a wider stereotype that women approach relationships in an emotional and dramatic way. Flaunt challenges that. Ultimately I just wrote how I was feeling and ended up with something light-hearted, playfully superficial and totally drama-free.”
In a turbulent time for all, Flaunt offers that little bit of carefree happiness, combined with Saachi’s soaring vocals and a beautifully produced track.
