Oliver Tree has never made anything ordinary, and “Flowers” keeps that streak firmly intact. The new single is out now via Atlantic Records, the latest preview of his highly anticipated fourth studio album ‘Love You Madly, Hate You Badly’, and it arrives with a music video that is exactly as unhinged as his fanbase has come to expect, featuring Tree dancing atop an airplane wing in full pilot uniform before meticulously vacuuming the cabin. Equal parts absurd and artful, the visual captures his unique ability to blur performance, parody, and pure pop spectacle into something that works on every level.
“Flowers” follows “Superhero,” his first single in 2 years, and the genre-blurring “Joyride,” continuing Tree’s fearless push across pop, alternative, and experimental territory without apology. The upcoming album was recorded across 7 continents and 80 countries over the past 2 years, from Africa to China to Afghanistan, resulting in a record that promises to be both genuinely adventurous and deeply personal. For an artist who has built an entire creative universe on his own terms, ‘Love You Madly, Hate You Badly’ looks like his most ambitious statement yet.
