In the words of Tiger La Flor: "The inspiration behind rope bunny is so random. I was in Austin to perform at SXSW and met the most handsome guy visiting from Dallas. He used to be Mister Luxembourg and spoke French. One of the shows we saw together during SXSW (which was also arguably the coolest live show I’ve ever seen) was this sick 80s-inspired brother duo. We kept talking when I went back to Los Angeles after SXSW, and I wanted to surprise him with a song to keep things alive so I wrote him this over-the-top 80s-inspired track which ended up being ‘rope bunny.’ I made him teach me French over FaceTime so I could record the introduction of the song. We never saw each other again and he ended up moving back to Europe, but glad to say he approved of the song."

LONG STORY SHORT:
Tiger La Flor's latest track, "rope bunny," pulses with synths reminiscent of The 1975, setting a seductive tone with sensual French whispers in the intro. Her velvety vocals effortlessly ride over a groovy beat, crafting an atmosphere that's both upbeat and brimming with lust. The lyrics, adorned with sugary sweetness, ignite feelings of desire and passion, with the chorus singing, "kiss me hard sugar/ sweet like whipped cream/ wanna be your rope bunny honey make a scene." Beneath the surface allure lies a raw honesty, knowing she's being blinded by lust, embracing vulnerability as she allows her lover to "trash my heart like a hotel room." This track is lively, sultry, and brings back the nostalgic vibes La Flor is known for.
