THE MEANING OF FLOWERS Agnes Obel

The Meaning of Flowers

Singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Agnes Obel&rsquo;s upcoming album The Meaning of Flowers is woven together from different strands of thought and inspiration. The project explores the heightened sense of interconnection with all living things she experienced during pregnancy.
A follow-up to the widely acclaimed Myopia (2020), the album reflects on birth, growth and metamorphosis in the natural world, drawing inspiration from sources ranging from the poetry of Enheduanna and the ideas of philosophers Hannah Arendt and Emanuele Coccia to Danish pop of the 80s and 90s.
Written, recorded, arranged and produced by Obel in her own studio in Berlin, the album features Obel herself on vocals, piano, keys, synths and samples, joined by guest musicians on strings, bass, lap steel, harmonium, flute, sax, percussion and backing vocals. Across its 12 tracks, the album reflects both the emotional impact of motherhood and the fresh directions in thought and composition that followed the birth of her first child. Dedicated to her daughter, the project explores what Obel describes as &ldquo;the feeling of a new beginning&rdquo; and a new, expansive sense of love and interconnectedness.
The full album will be released digitally, on CD and vinyl on 18 September. Pre-order the CD and vinyl editions in the <a href="https://store.deutschegrammophon.com/de-de/collections/agnes-obel">DG Store</a>.

Agnes Obel, the Danish-born, Berlin-based singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer, returns with her highly anticipated new album,&nbsp;The Meaning of Flowers.
Following the release of&nbsp;Myopia&nbsp;in 2020, this new record was written, recorded, arranged and produced entirely in Obel&rsquo;s Berlin studio. Across 12 atmospheric, genre-defying tracks,&nbsp;The Meaning of Flowers&nbsp;captures a period of profound personal and creative transformation.&nbsp;
Inspired by the birth of her first child, Obel explores themes of natality, interconnectedness and metamorphosis, reflecting on how new life reshapes the body, the mind and one&rsquo;s relationship to the wider world.
Her new music draws on a broad range of sources, from the poetry of Enheduanna (the world&rsquo;s first named author) and the ideas of philosophers Hannah Arendt and Emanuele Coccia, to the Danish pop scene of the 80s and 90s.
Shop exclusive: Pressed on 180g black vinyl, this special bundle also includes a hi-res digital download of The Meaning of Flowers, available in 44.1 kHz / 24-bit audio.
