A heartwarming R&B tune that’s a true delight to the senses.

Floral Couches, also known as Cody Gray, hails from the North Side of Chicago and is an indie pop artist. While he initially gained recognition for his “lo-fi dreamy soundscapes and synth-filled music,” his musical evolution now involves an “exploration of jazz, Motown, and soul,” presenting his audience with a “new sultry sound” that is truly captivating. Before the disbandment of his group Young Adult, Floral Couches and his bandmates performed across various parts of the city, sharing stages with acts like Sam Evian, Sen Morimoto, and Late Nite Laundry. Through his artistic endeavors, the musician guides listeners on “a poignant journey through the intricacies of human emotion,” weaving together themes of love, nostalgia, self-discovery, and bitter reality. Floral Couches’s latest release is the R&B single “Heaven Is Home (with you),” featuring Smooth Rogers.

With a captivating blend of soulful beats and mind-bending psychedelic tones, “Heaven Is Home (with you)” creates an enchanting backdrop that beautifully complements the song’s romantic essence. Poetic lines such as “I don’t mind just you and I, and when it gets dark, I’m never lonely, you’re always by my side” and “Baby, I’m yours tonight, now and forever more, open your heart and lock me in, the key is love” express profound declarations of love and commitments to eternity. The track, characterized by a compelling mix of retro vibes and mood-setting lo-fi, is a heartwarming R&B piece that truly delights the senses. So, hit play and experience why “Heaven Is Home (with you)” is a musical treasure.
