MOHI Unveils Soul-Stirring Title Track ‘THE FLOWERS THAT GROW FROM CONCRETE PAVEMENTS’

Emerging from the depths of reflection and resilience, MOHI announces the release of the long-awaited single THE FLOWERS THAT GROW FROM CONCRETE PAVEMENTS – the emotional centrepiece and title track of his latest album. The single drops September 19th on all major streaming platforms, marking the final piece of Side B and setting the stage for the full 12-track album, arriving October 1st.
Rooted in the streets and soundscape of his hometown, Henderson, West Auckland, the track masterfully blends soul, gospel, hip hop, and deep introspective storytelling. It’s a genre-defying sound that refuses to be boxed in, much like the story it tells - one of surviving hardship, understanding pain, and choosing growth against all odds.
"‘The Flowers That Grow From Concrete Pavements’ is about finding beauty in the broken," says Mohi. "It’s about reclaiming the narrative, honouring where I’ve come from, and stepping into something better, something beautiful."
As the title track, it doesn’t just close a chapter, it defines the entire journey. Drawing on haunting melodies, spiritual undertones, and hard-won truths, it invites listeners into the final phase of healing and acceptance.
Fans of Loyle Carner, Kendrick Lamar, and RAYE will resonate with the atmospheric depth and lyrical craftsmanship that sets MOHI apart.
THE FLOWERS THAT GROW FROM CONCRETE PAVEMENTS is available now on all major streaming platforms.
