Info zu Half Life

Wyatt Flores’ new project Half Life picks up where Life Lessons left off – its 8 songs continuing to showcase Wyatt’s distinct exploration of the human experience. While addressing themes of regrets, relationships and self-discovery, the EP encourages listeners to embrace the fleeting moments of connection and passion, to seize the present, cherish loved ones, and pursue personal growth and reconciliation, even in the face of adversity and toxic influences.

Ahead of the release of Half Life, Flores has unveiled two tracks from the project: “Wish I Could Stay” and “Milwaukee,” the latter of which Rolling Stone recently selected as a “Song You Need To Know,” while American Songwriter praises, “Flores’ catalog is full of great songs with out-of-this-world hooks. ‘Milwaukee’ is no different.”

Born and raised in Oklahoma, the Mexican-American artist has established himself as one of country music’s most vital voices. After dropping “Travelin’ Kid” at 19-years-old, Flores captivated audiences via The Hutson Sessions EP highlighted by “Please Don’t Go,” which gathered 150 million-plus global streams and scaled the Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart. Among other standouts, “Losing Sleep” reeled in north of 48 million streams. Signing to Island Records, he capped off 2023 with the Life Lessons EP. Upon its arrival, Billboard touted the title track among “8 Must-Hear New Country Songs,” while Holler christened him an “alt-country prodigy.” Meanwhile, Rolling Stone chronicled how “he went from playing a sold-out show at Nashville club the Basement East in August to booking two nights at the Ryman Auditorium in December.”

With streaming numbers exceeding the 325 million mark over the last two years, Flores is primed for superstardom as he continues to stay authentic to his story through his music. As soon as Flores picked up a guitar, he never put it down, drawing inspiration from the likes of Turnpike Troubadours, Tyler Childers and Jason Isbell. For as much as his family inspired him, his state also shaped his identity. “There’s a lot of pain and suffering that comes from Oklahoma,” he notes. “Going back to the Trail of Tears, we’re a poor state, and we don’t have much. We’re the kindest people ever, but we’re tougher than a boot. We don’t stop fighting. It builds a lot of character.”

“this year [was] more than enough to send his career into the stratosphere” (Rolling Stone)

“The alt-country prodigy continues to cement his status at the forefront of the new wave of artists” (Holler)

“An impressive and seemingly wise-beyond-his-years songwriter with a propensity for catchy choruses and relatable songs that fans can’t help but sing back to him, Flores’ quick ascension into the upper-echelon of country music’s countless up and coming artists has been fun to watch.” (Whiskey Riff)

Wyatt Flores

Wyatt Flores
trägt die Erinnerung an geliebte Menschen und Träume von einer besseren Zukunft in seiner Musik. Der aus Oklahoma stammende mexikanisch-amerikanische Singer/Songwriter singt aus dem Bauch heraus und erzählt Geschichten zu einem düsteren Country-Soundtrack. Seine Gedanken über das Leben, den Tod, die Sucht, den Schmerz und die Freude kommen ungefiltert aus seinem Inneren zum Vorschein. „Ich bekomme nur eine Chance im Leben, also versuche ich, präsent zu sein“, erklärt er. „Es gibt mehr im Leben als das, was der Durchschnittsmensch erlebt. Der Tod sitzt immer auf dem Beifahrersitz… Ich habe mich entschieden, mich mit ihm anzufreunden.“ Er wuchs umgeben von Musik am Rande einer Kleinstadt in Oklahoma auf. Beeinflusst durch Familie und Künstlern wie den Turnpike Troubadours, Tyler Childers und Jason Isbell entwickelte er seinen ganz eigenen Stil. Mit 19 Jahren erschien seine Debüt-Single „Travelin‘ Kid“. Nur ein Jahr später (2022) folgte „Please Don’t Go“. Der Song fand online großen Anklang und führte zur „The Hutson Sessions EP“. Danach veröffentlichte er „Break My Bones“ und „Ain’t Proud“ und erreichte damit Millionen von Streams. Der Titelsong seines 2023 erschienen Debutalbums „Life Lessons“ spiegelt seine unangepasste Lebenseinstellung wider. Songs wie „3/13“ handeln von persönlichen Tiefpunkten und dem Lernen aus Fehlern. Flores‘ Musik ruft dazu auf voll und ganz zu leben und verkörpert seine Reise und sein Lernen. Das Album symbolisiert seine Entwicklung und sein Wachstum.
