Genius Annotation

“Ezra” is a spacey instrumental track that is constantly moving forward; with every repetition of its main hook, a new element is introduced until multiple are living in harmony.

In an interview, Flume talked about the goals for his music in general:

I think [my music’s goal is to] evoke emotion. When I write music I often think of images in my head. I’d love to write a score for a film or something one day. When I write I kind of can see what I want. I want images and I want it to evoke emotion. But you know, sometimes I want to make people dance as well. But most importantly it is just the powerful evocation of emotion.

In the case of “Ezra”, the potential for imagery is boundless, as the synths used throughout the track are quirky, yet flow nicely, allowing the imagination of the listener to thrive.
