Flo Fields makes a striking debut with “Dependency,” a beautifully restrained exploration of emotional entanglement and personal rebirth. A rising voice in UK alternative soul, Flo’s first single demonstrates not just her vocal finesse, but a clear artistic vision rooted in soul, jazz, and introspective honesty.
Produced with a light but intentional touch, “Dependency” opens with lo-fi guitar arpeggios and subtle, crisp percussion, setting the tone for a track that feels like a slow exhale at golden hour. The production creates space rather than crowding it, allowing each note and breath to resonate fully. There’s a warmth to the instrumentation that mirrors the bittersweet self-awareness of the lyrics.
Flo’s vocal performance is the song’s heartbeat. She delivers each line with a quiet clarity, navigating soulful runs, layered harmonies, and intentional silences. Her tone is intimate but assured, guiding the listener through the discomfort of self-realization with grace. Lyrics like “I gave my power away… I had to decide when it was time to cut the ties” hit harder thanks to the measured pace and minimalistic arrangement.
Speaking on the song, Flo shares: “Dependency is about the ugly and uncomfortable realisation of co-dependency in a relationship and the journey back to the wholeness of self. The idea came out of a moment of struggle, whilst reflecting on a wild and windy beach in Portugal.”
A meditative and mature debut, “Dependency” marks Flo Fields as a voice ready to bring softness, soul, and serious depth to the alternative soul scene.
