NEW SINGLE: Lazy Fifty's latest single, Pretty as a Flower, explores fascination and desire. Picture by Jordan Perry

Lazy Fifty's latest groovy single Pretty as a Flower is best described as an ode to a lover.

Listeners will dive deep into the psyche of lyricist and vocalist Adrian Athy and explore his fascination and obsession with a woman of his imagination.

Lyrics compare her beauty to that of a flower, a new dawn, with a face that shines like the Moon on summer nights.

Athy shares his desire for the “Aphrodite born” and compliments how she moves.

The single may be his reflection on an episode in his personal life — perhaps when he first fell in love.

As good as Athy is at expressing his thoughts and emotions through music, his composition creates an aural tapestry that is both romantic and fun.

Band members and brothers in music Aidan Walters on the drums, bassist Toko Mantis and rhythm guitarist Joseph Carroll beautifully assist Athy in enveloping the music as a love letter for a damsel in waiting.

Their energetic performance, together with Jordan Perry's editing magic and Smash Palace serving as the perfect host, is an enjoyable watch.
