Val Flynn joined Nat & Laura to chat about his hot new single ‘Lover’.

Val Flynn is a born performer and refreshing new voice in the Australian music. With foundations laid in fashion and styling, Val Flynn’s passion for music was ignited during a late-night studio session with good friend Miss Blanks, ‚ÄúShe pretty much pushed me into the booth and said bitch sing you got a voice! Use it!‚ Reminiscent of early 2000′ hip-hop futuristic sounds, Val Flynn draws inspiration from Aayliah, Christina Aguilera, and George Michael. Exploring themes of love, sex, and individuality, Val Flynn has global ambitions to resonate with the heart beats that skip to their own sound.

On ‚ÄòWerq 4 It‚Äô Flynn has enlisted Miss Blanks, creating an infectious combination of boss energies and unforgiving charisma. Flynn sings masterfully in and out of autotune, chopped over a high energy jungle infused garage beat. Flynn describes ‚ÄôWerq 4 It‚Äô as an anthem for women and young girls who ‚Äúcan do and achieve anything in this world and don‚Äôt need a man to make it happen‚Äù. Paired with Miss Blanks‚Äô clever and commanding wordplay, ‚ÄòWerq 4 It‚Äô positions Flynn amongst Australia‚Äôs dance-pop elite.
