Folk singer-songwriter Florence Rose Broomfield makes debut with new single, "When You're Here"

"When You're Here" is formed around Broomfield's voice and guitar, inspired by traditional folk songwriting, with a violin melody from Marika Tyler-Clark. The song was written about the experience of watching someone become fully absorbed in their phone, and the sense of longing and rejection that can come with not receiving a person's full presence.

“‘When You’re Here’ is about feeling the lack of someone’s presence when they are around you because they are tied to their phone," Broomfield explains. "It’s a very modern issue, and one that really affects me because I see so much of myself reflected back in that moment. My longing, my need for validation and attention, and my own sick obsession with the phone. Although it’s a very delicate and pretty sounding song, it’s really about feelings of repulsion and rejection, which aren’t such pretty subjects.”
