Background
Speaking to Apple Music, Dorian said this on the albums title track: “I encountered the word ‘flamboyant’ first when I was reading a biography about Oscar Wilde when I was a kid and I thought it was an interesting phrase. I'd always heard it used in a derogatory way to mean over the top, extravagant, sometimes tacky, but also a coded word for gay or queer. I researched the history of the word before I chose it as the name of the album. I read about how it came from this French stained glass that was flame-shaped in French Gothic cathedrals because stained glass was one of the most colorful, psychedelic, brightly colored things that people in the medieval world had to look at. To me, flamboyant means something that's begging to be looked at, something that can't be ignored because it's colorful and bright. There's so much interesting history to that word that I wanted to positively reclaim it and take away the derogatory context. Don’t be afraid to be yourself, to be out there and loud and proud—that's something really meaningful to me.”
