Aussie pop talent Jessica Mauboy reveals details of her upcoming album Yours Forever and its latest single Flashback. The single is a nostalgic pop hit geared towards dancefloor. It sees Jessica work with co-writers James Gales, PNAU’s Nick Littlemore and Toby Anagnostis. The number is produced by Butter Bath, James Gales and Nick Littlemore.
Jessica shares “‘Flashback’ is a song that holds a very special place in my heart – this song captures the exhilarating feeling of falling in love.” She adds: “We’d begin each session with all the lights in the studio turned off and start improvising together – the guys would lay down synth and guitar ideas while I freestyled melodies over the top. That day, Nick came into the vocal booth and gave me the prompt to write about my love story, the love I have now with my husband. How do you capture that undeniably big love and share that with the world?”
Jessica draws on her own experiences with love for the lyrics: “It’s a lump in your throat, butterflies in your stomach, a giddy feeling. The lyrics “Flashback I’m frozen, standing right in front of the one I’m gunna love” is reminiscent of when I first met my husband. I remember feeling frozen, my mind clearing, and the distinct feeling that our connection was a premonition of our love to come.”
On the album Yours Forever, Jessica talks about opening up: “Yours Forever is me at my truest self, comfortable in my skin, not comparing myself or trying to be someone or something that anyone expects me to be.” She continues: “When you strip it all back, musically it’s beautiful melodies, storytelling lyrics, rhythms that connect with the soul, and it has a depth that I’ve never gone to or shared before.”
Flashback follows Jason Derulo assisted single Give You Love, which is also expected to feature on the Yours Forever album.
Yours Forever is out February 9th, 2024, via Warner Music Australia.
