FLOYA - neue Single/Video 'Drift'
FLOYA is known for one thing: the ability to infuse hope into every track they release.
Their latest effort, 'Drift', is no exception. The duo elevates listeners with powerful, airy synths, Marv’s romantic guitar riffs, and Phil’s unmistakable angelic voice.
'Drift' is filled with genre-bending moments and conveys a clear message: Do what you love; there’s not enough time for anything else.
“I don't think I've ever written a song this honest before,” says singer Phil.
“I've grappled with ambivalent emotions toward my career, to be completely transparent. There were moments when I doubted whether I could continue doing what I love. I turned my back on music for a while and, as a result, lost a significant part of my identity. 'Drift' is about precisely that: dealing with ambivalence, overcoming doubts, and enabling you to continue doing what you love.”
This release by FLOYA also marks a special occasion—the announcement of their highly anticipated debut album, »Yume« scheduled to drop on March 8th, 2024. Pre-orders available on Friday!
Recorded and produced by Chris Kempe (Embark Audio).
Mastered by Robin Schmidt.

Caught between the stomping beats and airy synths of the EDM world and the overall feel of a modern rock band, FLOYA are a truly special duo.
Hailing from Germany, Marv Wilder and Phil Bayer found common ground by talking about their childhood influences, namely Peter Gabriel, U2 & Sting. With the vision in mind to fuse a fresh pop rock sound with the aesthetics of EDM and world music, the pair set out to showcase what’s rarely found on todays music market.
After the successful launch of their smashing single 'The Hymn', the song got featured in an official AFL game between Port Adelaide and the Western Bulldogs on Australian Television, marking quite the achievement for an act that’s been public for only a few months. FLOYA also received praise in the form of airplay by Kerrang! Radio (UK) and Radio Contact (BE).
Since the release of their first single 'Wonders' the band has amassed over 8 million streams on Spotify alone in just one and a half year.
FLOYA are:
Phil | vocals
Marv | guitar
