Rising duo FARR just dropped their debut album Weightless!
FARR is comprised of vocalist Romeo and producer Linden Jay. The two met back in 2016 at a studio session that then led to them crafting an incredible blend of pop, R&B, and electronic sounds.
This album is very significant for the band. While putting the finishing touches on the album, Romeo lost his best friend, Noah, in a car accident. This completely re-defined the significance of the album.
Romeo shared, “‘Weightless’ became the story of Noah for me, the beauty of a life well lived regardless of how short it was, that was able to touch so many lives in such a positive way, to pass weightlessly. It really made the album more personal for me, this connection, so we decided to dedicate it to him. Noah was one of our biggest cheerleaders from the very start. I think he was in the studio with us a few times when we decided to call ourselves FARR. We really wanted to make this record a safe place for people to come to, to feel better, to know that in all the craziness it’s gonna be ok, just focus on living one day at time, that all things must come to an end, but with every end, comes new beginnings.”
The lead track “Wildflowers” has a very distinct feel to it. Romeo said, “I’d written the hook for Wildflowers a while back and one day when Linden and I were at the studio, he started making this beat and the Wildflowers hook fitted perfectly with it. We always wanted to do a Sergeant Peppers influenced track and this one felt right to add the trombones to. I’d also recently gotten out of a pretty rocky relationship so I felt like it was the right time to write it.”
