NINO’s Latest Track “Flutter, Lover” Is A Dreamy Daze

A mesmerizing entry into the RnB/Soul genre, Diorama's NINO has just released his latest single, "Flutter, Lover," a song that talks about personal aspirations, and a partner who's got your back.

When asked about the concept, NINO shared a poetic vision: "While writing, I was imagining myself lying in bed while looking up at a butterfly fluttering delicately above me. I wanted to be like the butterfly, free enough to hover in the air and be confident despite all my fragility."  A common theme of NINO's songs, surrendering yourself to its melody and dreamy lyrics will put you in a daze — much like the gentle beat of a butterfly's wings. His unique vocals paired with his imaginative lyrical narrative is a day dreaming combo.

More than the "flutter" portion of the song, "lover" reframes it through an intimate lens—as NINO puts it, "In another lens, I see the butterfly as my partner. Someone who exudes beauty, whom I admire deeply and inspires me to become a better version of myself." Whether you're drawn to the whimsical "flutter" side, the heartfelt "lover" perspective, or the blend of both emotional spectrums, "Flutter, Lover" will reel you in with its playful, sincere, and intimate vibes.

Stream "Flutter, Lover" now on your favorite platforms, and follow NINO and Diorama FM on all social media platforms for updates.
