Alt-pop phenom FLØRE supported Mothica on her Kissing Death tour in Berlin. Come along as we recap what was a one-of-a-kind show.
It’s been an amazing year for FLØRE’s live shows. Following the release of her newest single “Back To Bed,” FLØRE once again took us on a journey into her mystical world of music, supporting Mothica on her first official headline tour throughout Europe. The Kissing Death tour marks another remarkable milestone for Mothica, alongside her album of the same name.
Seeing FLØRE and Mothica on stage at Berlin’s the Hole⁴⁴ in one concert proved that the two are a match made in heaven. In fact, both are unique in their sound, yet perfectly compliment each other with their music. Now, to be fair, a teamup between the two feels like it has to have been inevitable.
FLØRE’s setlist was as follows:
- “I think I lost my Mind”
- “Don’t U Dare”
- “Back To Bed”
- “ZOMBIE”
- “I’m okay, I’m just a little depressed”
- “WITCH”
- “GRIM”
- “Sick Of Being Sad”
To declare the event opened, FLØRE entered the stage to a beautiful variation of the intro to her single “I think I lost my mind.” Starting off with this still rather hot and fresh track of hers, she instantly had the crowd under her spell. Indeed, “I think I lost my mind” explores the scenario of going viral and it suddenly changing one’s life. Furthermore, the song rides a fine line between fame that comes with the success and the hard work artists need to put in in order to get there. With its distinctly punchy beat, “I think I lost my mind” is one of those songs you’ll find yourself repeating in your head for days on end.
Subsequently, “Don’t U Dare” is a classic among FLØRE’s songs. It’s arguably one of those songs that just needs to be on the setlist. It portrays a breakup and taking pride in not letting the other person see the heartbreak they have caused. It is especially fitting on any gig FLØRE plays in Berlin, like this one, because of the line
“Well, I’m right here where you left me
On a Monday in Berlin”~ “Don’t U Dare”
Singing about all the wrongs this person has done her, FLØRE insists however,
“But don’t u dare to think I wrote this ’bout u”
~ “Don’t U Dare”
The next song was an absolute highlight of the evening. Above all, it was a privilege to be the very first to hear FLØRE’s latest single “Back To Bed” live. The country-style song deals with the topic of a relationship running off of sexual pleasure only, while lacking a deeper emotional connection. Long-time fans, as well as those who were new to FLØRE’s music went wild to her performance as she captivated everyone with the sonically upbeat vibes of the song.
“ZOMBIE” was another perfect title for the show topically. Whereas “Don’t U Dare” deals with the aftermath of a breakup and “Back To Bed” with skin-deep relationships, “ZOMBIE” talks about past lovers from buried relationships that come crawling back to you like a zombie. The song is a favorite among fans at live shows, as FLØRE created her very own zombie dance that goes along with it. It gives her shows a very personal and interactive touch, as she invites everyone to dance along.
Following her powerful and energetic songs, FLØRE brought us one of her most emotional pieces “I’m okay, I’m just a little depressed.” The single is deals with deep-cutting emotions that come along with depression, such as the feeling of not being enough, while simultaneously feeling like you’re too much, as well as missing oneself while getting lost in the depression. The crowd laid in each others arms singing and crying along to this emotional masterpiece.
However, it wouldn’t be long until the absolute empowering anthem that is “WITCH” shook us up again. With one of the heaviest beats and powerful vocals in FLØRE’s library, the song emphasizes shamelessly being oneself even if that means being called a witch for it, because
“Real witches do not burn”
~ “WITCH”
Another beautifully vengeful song on the list was “GRIM.” This song takes the concept of a relationship gone bad to a whole new level. FLØRE is out to reap the soul of the unfortunate person that was naive enough to wrong her. The high-octane nature of this song created an air of absolute ecstasy throughout the venue, marking it another highlight of the show.
Once more, it was an absolute shocker when FLØRE announced that the next song would be her last one of the evening. She ended the show with a track that couldn’t be any more fitting. “Sick Of Being Sad” beautifully encapsulates FLØRE’s message and what so many of her songs stand for. It is a light in all the gloom, sending us off with that wonderful ray of hope her music gives us like no other.
Seeing FLØRE and Mothica on the same evening was an incredibly special opportunity. The two worlds colliding was a spectacle to behold. Her unique alt-pop vibes and her breathtaking performances make her shows an experience you don’t want to miss out on. It was an enormous pleasure welcoming her and her team to Germany and we hope for a swift return.
If you got curious about FLØRE’s live shows, buckle up, because there is more to come. As if her performance supporting Mothica wasn’t exciting enough, FLØRE announced her first full headline tour “Madwoman” throughout Germany in February of 2025 and her newest EP of the same name. We are beyond excited to follow along on FLØRE’s journey and what masterpieces she has in store for us.
