A haunting homage to the tragedy and stardom of Hollywood.

Tiger La Flor is a multi-talented artist whose musical influences are as diverse as they are profound. Drawing inspiration from the tragic glamour of old Hollywood and rock & roll, as well as cultural icons and settings like The Great Gatsby, Marilyn Monroe, the Playboy Mansion, and Kurt Cobain, Tiger La Flor channels a unique blend of fame and loneliness. Other inspirations include the hedonistic allure of Studio 54, the melancholic “tumblr sad girl culture,” and entertainment like Twin Peaks and Moonrise Kingdom. This rich tapestry of influences creates a sound that evokes a world of excessive pleasure and lust, haunted by wasted youth and broken hearts. The artist’s work captures a nostalgia for the timeless beauty in the ephemeral, leaving a lasting impression. Tiger La Flor’s latest release is the indie pop EP see me in hell, which closes with the evocative track “hollywood cemetery.”

With an utterly delightful blend of warm guitar and dreamy tones, “hollywood cemetery” provides a lush, Western-infused backdrop that beautifully complements the tune’s emotional exploration. Lyrics like “Bury me in Hollywood, Like you said you would, I done bad but I look damn good” and “Never wanted the American dream, Picket fence and a family, Never said I’d be a saint, Being good is for holidays” deliver an alluring tale of fame and tragedy. Fueled by its ethereal vocals and nostalgic charm, Tiger La Flor offers a haunting homage to the allure and heartbreak of Hollywood. So press play and embark on an unforgettable trip through the “hollywood cemetery.”
