about
Dutch Neo-Soul-come-Electronic-Pop quartet Dragonfruit return with the striking new single‘Flashing Lights’ ahead of the upcoming EP Honeymoon Phase.
Blending elements of electronic music, funk, R&B, indie, pop, and neo-soul, the Rotterdam-based group’s vibrant sound has already seen them gain a series of accolades across press and radio as well as scoring placements on a number of Spotify editorial playlists.
Built around a swelling backdrop of analog synthesizers, swinging beats, and dappled electronics, ‘Flashing Lights’ captures the euphoric groove and expansive soundscape that the band has become renowned for. Topped with silky, effortlessly charismatic lead vocals, the track’s commercial shines as brightly as the swelling, rich instrumentation. Intricate and exciting, ‘Flashing Lights’ is a sparkling multifaceted offering, giving an exciting taste of what to expect from the upcoming EP.
Speaking on the new single, the band shares: “‘Flashing Lights’ is about the desire for the freedom, impulsiveness, and lust that nightlife and club culture brings.”

Lyrics:
CHORUS
Flashing Lights
Sweat and wide eyes
I just want to savor
Every single bite
Let them eat out of my hands and get high
We can all fly
It’s given that I take what’s arguably mine
So, I take the night
VERSE
I take what I want, do what I want, when I want to
I leave, when I’m left, nowhere to get when I’m drunk oeh
You say you want to, want to get high
Me, I got lots to offer to get by
PRE
Say what are the
Odds, we take it home to mine
3,2,1 we both say 5
Seems like we just caught a vibe
What are the
Odds you’ll have me sleep-deprived I would die to feel alive
You look like you’re worth the try
CHORUS
Flashing Lights Sweat and wide eyes I just want to savor
Every single bite
Let them eat out of my hands and get high
We can all fly
It’s given that I take what’s arguably mine
So, I take the night
POST
Hair wet and your knees bruised
I’ve got something to ease the morning
Feet hurt but we won’t lose
We’ll dance until the break of dawn
In flashing lights, sweat, and wide eyes, I just want to savor every single bite
VERSE 2
Of you
We been making moves
Kiss on your tattoos
My tongue tied with the taste of love’s sweet ruse
And it tastes of booze
Dj turn the music up
Cause riri said so
Here’s the odds
We take it home to mine
Zero, we ain’t got the Lme
Go in for another grind, say
What are the odds we stay out on the floor?
Maybe I can kiss you more
But I’ll never be able to dance like Doja, I’m so sorry
CHORUS
Flashing Lights
Sweat and wide eyes I just want to savor
Every single bite
Let them eat out of my hands and get high
We can all fly
It’s given that I take what’s arguably mine
So, I take the night
Of you
We been making moves
Kiss on your tattoos
My tongue tied with the taste of love’s sweet ruse
And it tastes of booze
Dj turn the music up
I’m here to dance all night and day
