Flowerovlove:Spreading love in song

Don’t underestimate her age – the 16-year-old musician flowerovlove is not only an emerging fashion icon, but a quickly evolving songwriter who champions self-love and womanhood. Portraying her own growth like the unstoppable and beautiful growth of a flower, the London-based singer and schoolgirl has captivated the hearts of Gen Z with her relatable lyricism and sunny personality.MORE

Flowerovlove

London-born, and from Côté d’Ivoire, the emerging artist is an Instagram item adored for her cutting-edge sense of style where she models nifty garms from baggy pullovers and oversized suits with eccentric ties, to cool cowboy boots. As a young, immigrant, and woman of colour with a clear-cut vision, Flowerovlove is dedicated to sustainability, having fun and uplifting women. Coeval caught up with Joyce Cisse AKA Flowerovlove for a conversation about her deep love for music, her groovy garbs and her debut EP, ‘Think Flower’, launching 14/05/21 .MORE

Flowerovlove on the rise

As Flowerovlove, 16-year-old South London born Joyce Cisse makes music driven by hazy nostalgia as much as an unwavering self-belief.

Joyce Cisse meets the lens with a sleepy, feline gaze and blinks slowly, like a cat laying in a chink of sunlight on a Sunday afternoon. It could be contentment she feels: wrapped in a white towelling robe, resting her feet on the table, swirling around a glass of wine; breathing in the scent of a flower that she twirls around her fingers – or it could be a little well-earned contempt. “Send these rappers back to school / Bruh, I’m 15 / You’ll challenge who? / Paris fashion week we do that too / Got the cheque and the boots”, she doesn’t so much sing, as speak with a cool indifference, on the visuals for her track “Malibu”.

And no, she doesn’t flinch once, because it’s all true.

Flowerovlove sees her life as a garden, and for an artist who has only just turned sixteen, its blooms are in colourful abundance. The South Londoner, besides releasing her debut EP Think Flower last year, has walked Paris Fashion Week for Malian/Senegalese heritage label XULY.Bët and been the face of campaigns for the likes of Gucci and Pangaia – oh, and she sold out her first London show too.

Her music, in many ways, is a pressing of these moments like petals in between the pages of a scrapbook. Drunk on pollen and sunshine, her groove-led tunes unravel like a lazy daydream - always light, lo-fi and brimming with a certain radiance that is all her own. “I see myself as a flower,” Cisse tells me. “And I think other people should see themselves that way, too. We’re all growing. In winter, flowers lose their petals and all that fun stuff – you can say it better,” she laughs, “but you will grow them back again.” MORE
