The Montreal-raised, Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter makes phenomenal use of her powerhouse vocal chops throughout the EP\u2019s eight songs, but it\u2019s on the final track, <em>To Myself<\/em>, that she fully lets herself go wild. The song is about trying to resist the temptation of a romance that might not be the best to pursue, and as Creti\u2019s walls fall throughout the track, her spellbinding vocal runs reach higher and higher. \u201cI must confess, I want you in my bed\/ and it\u2019s new to me, to keep this love to myself\/ I can\u2019t ignore, you\u2019re the pain and the cure,\u201d she sings on the chorus. This level of emotionality paired with her acrobatic singing is par for the course for the emerging singer, who had a breakout moment in 2024 when <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dfyIHJkUj7s\" target=\"_blank\"><u>her moving performance of <\/u><u><em>Bleeding Me Dry<\/em><\/u><u> on Colors<\/u><\/a> went viral. \u2014 <em>Kelsey Adams<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><strong>Cutting Corners, Fleur Electra<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><em><strong>WATCH | The audio for Cutting Corners by Fleur Electra:<\/strong><\/em><span><span class=\"youtube\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Cutting Corners\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mxrcIWmCA2k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cGet your act together, with or without her, do you believe in what\u2019s underneath,\u201d Toronto\u2019s Fleur Electra sings before glitchy drums sweep in, backing hazy synths on <em>Cutting Corners<\/em>. It\u2019s one of the songs that immediately stands out from the swoon-y, dream pop tracks on her new EP <em>Strike the Match<\/em>, thanks to the quirky instrumentation and the playful vocal performance. Fleur Electra straddles the sweet (\u201cYou look pretty in my favourite blouse\u201d) with the sharp (\u201cWe\u2019re both giving up and we call it common ground\u201d) by swerving back and forth with precision to draw listeners in.
