The new album does not only contain the latest "Let's Get Naked", hits "On Fire", "Discoteque", "Love Is All We Got", but also fresh unheard songs.
.
The name of the album “Concrete Flower” talks about the force of a flower capable of breaking through concrete. This directly relates to the story of THE ROOP band.
.
"Many people told us we were too old to achieve anything in music, one manager refused to work with us because of our age. Ironically, with “On Fire” - a song touching upon the topic of ageism - we managed to make an international breakthrough and pushed through the concrete attitude of some music managers", - recollect members of THE ROOP. Later, after participating in Eurovision with “Discoteque”, the band rocketed even higher attracting an even bigger crowd of fans, age ranging from toddlers to seniors.
.
The album cover art project was led by Deimantė Litvinaitė, and the illustration was created by Taiwan-based studio "Damonxart". It's the top view of a blooming flower, breaking through grey concrete. The flower blooms in colors which dominate in the music videos of THE ROOP.
.
"The name of the album and the cover also symbolize the history of Lithuania, which in 1990 broke out of the Soviet Union with great force", - says V. Valiukevičius.
.
Members of the band state that the album “Concrete Flower” is dedicated to those who have the desire to live, want to move forward, and to those who need inspiration and motivation to reach their dreams.
.
THE ROOP album is out in digital format, but very soon it will gain material form - CD, and a little later vinyl.
