Finding your “Serotonin” with dark-wave alt artist Frankie Flowers

FRANKIE FLOWERS is an emerging alternative artist from Waterloo, Ont. She produces her own genre bending sound by merging her love for dark-wave and post-punk music, drawing inspiration from bands such as The Cure and Joy Division. FRANKIE seeks to create a dark, psychedelic, and eclectic vibe at her shows and through listening to her music that urges you to escape reality and experience the unknown.

Her new song, “Serotonin,” is inspired by endings and beginnings, and the idea of finding your “serotonin” – that is, your person who’s there by your side for all the highs and lows that life throws at you. Serotonin, being known as the happy chemical in our brains, is something that we’re all constantly longing for so if you’re able to find it in a person, that’s pretty cool.

Life has hard days and that's fine, we just have to remember it’s only a hard day – life also has really good days and those are even better! Life isn’t meant to be so serious. There’s a natural ebb and flow to our emotions… so it’s important to just ride the wave.
