19-track collection explores healing, modern romance, and neurodiversity through authentic songwriting and AI-powered production

LONDON, LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, November 7, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Singer-songwriter Matthew Blakemore today announces the release of his sophomore album "Red Flags and White Flags," a 19-track exploration of modern relationships, emotional healing, and self-discovery. Following the success of his debut "Grace Under Pressure," this ambitious new collection showcases Blakemore's growth as a songwriter while maintaining complete creative control over every lyric and melody.​

"This album means everything to me," says Blakemore. "Every song was written solely by me over the past 12 to 18 months, mostly while traveling. None of the lyrics were AI-generated—I create the melodies and musical direction for each track, then use Suno Studio to enhance and produce the music in line with my artistic vision, bringing my fully-formed songs to life at a professional level".​

A Raw, Honest Portrait of Modern Life

"Red Flags and White Flags" tackles complex themes including the challenges of dating apps, the psychology of love bombing and ghosting, conflict avoidance, and the experience of being neurodivergent in relationships. Standout tracks include "Happiness," a Lewis Capaldi-style ballad about accepting how others perceive you, and "Cascade," one of Blakemore's most heartfelt compositions about emotional whiplash in modern romance.​​

The album features diverse musical styles ranging from Scandi pop-meets-EDM on "Olive Branch" to rock-infused tracks like the revamped versions of "London" and "If You Look Back". Lighter moments include "Hot Girl Summer," written at Germany's Herbstfest, and "Cuffing Season," a Christmas-style exploration of winter dating culture.​​

Redefining AI's Role in Music Creation

Blakemore represents a new generation of artists who use AI as a production and enhancement tool rather than a creative replacement. "I'm a songwriter and composer first," he explains. "Suno Studio enables me to realize my melodic and musical concepts at a professional production standard. I direct the creative vision—the melody, the arrangement direction, the emotional tone—and use AI to execute and enhance that vision. The artistic control remains entirely mine".​

This approach has garnered attention in the AI and music industries, with Blakemore performing at World Summit AI on the main stage, where he demonstrated how artists can leverage AI tools while maintaining artistic integrity.​

Themes of Repair and Healing

A consistent thread throughout the album is the desire for connection and reconciliation. Songs like "Water Under the Bridge," "Absence of Care (This Is For Me)," and the title track "Red Flags and White Flags" explore the complexities of apologizing, forgiving, and keeping doors open for future healing.​​

"As someone with ADHD, I experience emotions intensely and process relationships differently," Blakemore notes. "This album is about understanding myself better and hopefully helping others feel less alone in their own experiences".​

Album Highlights:

"Figuring It Out" – Written in Austria, one of Blakemore's strongest compositions about friendship

"Primark Underwear" – A sharp commentary on treating people with respect, not as disposable

"Fuck Me You're Amazing" / "Fuck Me You're Not Amazing" – A two-song exploration of dating's extreme highs and lows

"Aftershock" – Performed at World Summit AI, examining the psychological impact of modern dating patterns

"Queen Capitalism" – A critique of transactional approaches to love and relationships

Critical Reception and Availability

While "Grace Under Pressure" established Blakemore's voice, early feedback suggests "Red Flags and White Flags" showcases significant artistic maturation. The album is now available on Spotify and all major streaming platforms.​​

Popular tracks including "Happiness," "Hot Girl Summer," and "London" are already gaining traction with listeners who appreciate Blakemore's candid, emotionally intelligent approach to songwriting.​​
