Overview
- Flowers released the single 'Paradise' on Friday, July 17 as the second preview from his solo album Thrasher, which is due August 21 on Island Records.
- The album was recorded in Nashville with producers Shawn Everett and Jonathan Rado and features veteran country players including David Rawlings, pedal steel guitarist Bruce Bouton, and harmonica legend Charlie McCoy.
- Musically the song blends banjo, pedal steel and harmonica into a country-tinged arrangement while its lyrics use Las Vegas casino imagery tied to Flowers’ family and an explicit reference to Phil Collins’ 'Another Day In Paradise.'
- Flowers has announced UK, Ireland and North American solo dates in support of Thrasher and tickets moved to general sale the same day the single was released.
- Thrasher is Flowers’ first full-length solo album in more than a decade and represents a deliberate return to the country‑Western music of his youth, shifting his songwriting toward more personal, narrative-focused stories.
