Flo Milli has delivered the visuals for “Roaring 20s” produced by Kenny Beats. As the song title suggests, the Alabama native takes things back to the prohibition era as she dresses with a more form flare and takes over an underground club.
“The Roaring Twenties was a period in history of dramatic social and political change. Last year I was able to break through during a very difficult time for not only our country but, the world. Born in 2000, and having my breakout year in 2020, I feel like I’m living in the new age of the Roaring Twenties,” the rising artist said about her new single.
Sampling “If I Were A Rich Man” from Fiddler on the Roof, Flo Milli sets out to challenge stereotypical gender standards by being free and confident. Throughout the record, she talks about what she would do if she was a man and addresses those who feel is she is too brash or provocative. Her style coincides with the early 20th century, a time in which more privileged women were able to challenge gender norms while pushing for the opportunity to vote.
“One of the most familiar symbols of the Roaring Twenties was the birth of the new independent woman, known in those years as a flapper. A flapper is a young woman; unbothered by conventional standards of behavior. In addition to being more sexually free than previous generations, the women of the Roaring Twenties had the bobbed hair, the short skirts, the drankin’, the smokin’, looks, and participated in activities that were deemed ‘unladylike.’ My lyrics, my style, and my lifestyle all resonate with that freedom and I am the Roaring Twenties,” she continued.
Flo Milli sets the tone for the next chapter of her budding career. After a spectacular run in 2020, she will look to take things to a new level in 2021. Check out “Roaring 20s” below.
