In the dynamic realm of music, where emotion meets melody, UK-based singer/songwriter ANDREW FLYNN emerges as a proud queer artist with a penchant for the dramatic. The latest addition to his repertoire is the single “Narcissist,” a track that delves into the shadows of love and loss, marked by dark, deep lyrics and an unmistakable 80s vibe.
A seasoned stage performer in his youth, ANDREW FLYNN brings a theatrical flair to his music, inviting listeners into a world where emotions are not just heard but felt. “Narcissist,” with its raw edges and unapologetic honesty, serves as a sonic canvas where Flynn explores the complexities of love through his personal experiences.
Teaming up with music maestro and producer Connor Speechly, ANDREW FLYNN crafted “Narcissist” in a local studio in Hartlepool. The collaboration, born just six months ago, has quickly blossomed into a musical partnership that brings together Flynn’s emotive vocals and Speechly’s prowess as a producer.
The influences that shape ANDREW FLYNN’s sound are rooted in the male singers of the ’80s, a decade known for its vibrant and diverse musical landscape.

The narrative unfolds with deep, moody undertones, revealing the emotional turbulence of unrequited love. Despite the trauma, Flynn emerges from the experience stronger, and “Narcissist” captures the essence of hope rising from despair.
As a proud LGBT artist who grew up navigating the challenges of being gay in the ’80s, ANDREW FLYNN draws inspiration from his own struggles to be a positive representation for others. His music becomes a vessel for self-expression and empowerment, transcending boundaries and resonating with those who connect with the authenticity of his narrative.
The single has garnered attention, with a notable review from Electrozombies describing “Narcissist” as a compelling addition to the synthpop genre. Flynn’s therapeutic approach to songwriting is evident, and the energy infused into the track reflects the collaborative synergy between the singer and producer.
In the words of ANDREW FLYNN, “Writing this song was like therapy for me, and I love the energy and what we have created together.” “Narcissist” stands not just as a song but as a testament to the transformative power of music—a medium through which pain is articulated, resilience is celebrated, and hope is rekindled.
