Do you want to feel nostalgic but present at the same time? A sexy stillness, like the one you get at a snow cabin fireplace or a hot steamy poolside? Welcome to the lounge, the Lounge of The Flamingo. 


The Lounge of the Flamingo cares not about your social pages, Kardashian cages and your friends with strangers. It cares not about keeping up with the Joneses, or running away with the crowd. The Lounge only asks for your calm, so sit back, relax and enjoy the journey.


Created in collaboration by Australian songwriter/ producer Paris Wells and long-time musical partner Mauritian musician/producer Finley François, the album is a lush, Latin-inspired lounge masterpiece. Recorded live at Frying Pan Studios, housed within the iconic MONA Gallery in Tasmania, the nostalgia in this album creates a coziness beyond clouds. 


Drawing subtle influences from Nouvelle Vague, Astrud Gilberto, and Cesária Évora, the project highlights Wells’ & Francois’ versatility, refined artistry and a 20yo working partnership. 


The Lounge is a membership you’re going to want to be a part of. Do you want to join the lounge? Membership is free!
