The release, not just the review

The concrete news is that The Meaning of Flowers has been released. Clash identifies it as Obel’s first album in more than six years and says the work grew from long sessions in her Berlin studio.

How the theme is grounded

Clash links the record to pregnancy, motherhood and Obel’s wish to approach the feeling of a new beginning. It also names Enheduanna, Hannah Arendt, Emanuele Coccia and 1980s Danish synth-pop as influences; those references describe the source material, not a claim that the album has one fixed meaning.

Update note: Distinguishes the verified release and creative influences from Clash's subjective assessment of the album.
