Maryland based artists Finch, Flores, and Illeven, Joshua Matthew, are the two behind Pink Elefants, and the new single, ‘Foolish’. The song gives a bubbly feeling with the opening, and carries throughout with vibes that make you want to move. Packed with funky guitar licks, atmospheric hip-hop beats, swooning synths and catchy pop melodies, “Foolish” illustrates Pink Elefant’s effortless ability to incorporate a wide range of inspiration into one song. Lyrically, the song is an ode to authenticity, specifically as it pertains to dating.
Breaking down the meaning behind the conversational-styled lyrics, the duo says, “the song is simply saying, ‘hey, I am not like those other guys, you know, the type who hit you up at 3am.’ This is an anthem to the people who are authentic and who will actually work for the ones they love.”
Some of this might be surprising to some, to hear a song like this come from Finch and Illeven, due to them previously performing in the rock/metal band Megosh. The duo created Pink Elefants as an outlet to explore other genres and, in the process, quickly became experts at defying genre boundaries, pulling widely from a plethora of influences. The band name was inspired by the “Pink Elephants on Parade” sequence in Disney’s Dumbo (1941) and much like the transformation of the elephants in that scene, the band’s ethos is to be ever-evolving with their sound and the world around them. It is flat out amazing to see how these two have done a complete 180 degrees with the two genres. Shows to the talent and effort they have put in to make this happen. The band made their debut as Pink Elefants in 2019 and have continued to pump out a steady stream of singles since such as, ‘Maryland’, ‘Blame on Me’, and many others.
