How much pain does it take to write good music? Ruby McKinnon, also known as Flower Face, explores this question on her new album *Kill The Muse*, due for release on 22 January 2027. On the album, the Canadian musician questions her previous creative patterns and seeks a way to break free from the notion that good songs must stem from personal suffering.

Flower Face
The Montreal-born artist has been processing personal crises, painful relationships and emotional turmoil in her music for years.
Following her album *Girl Prometheus* (2024), which was shaped by a break-up, she is now turning a new page. Sonically, *Kill The Muse* moves between dark dream pop, indie rock and melancholic folk. Songs such as “Bad Dream”, “Better the Devil” and “Life’s So Boring” combine echoing guitars, fragile vocals and stirring strings to create an intense soundscape.
Vulnerably and poignantly, Flower Face explores themes of disappointment, self-reflection and the courage to change.
The level of interest in Flower Face in this country is evident from the fact that their German concerts in November sold out within a short space of time. Live, Ruby McKinnon combines fragile vocals with powerful instrumental outbursts, creating an intense, personal atmosphere.
In April 2027, she will return to Berlin for a concert as part of the tour for her new album *Kill The Muse*. The show will see melancholic soundscapes meet emotional intensity and new musical perspectives.
