Flower Face, the the project of Montreal artist Ruby McKinnon has announced her new album, Kill the Muse, will drop on February 5th via Nettwerk Records, ahead of the LP’s arrival, she is sharing the single “Better the Devil.”

Flower Face reflects: “I remember so vividly the moment I wrote this song. I was walking home from the metro station after spending the day at my producer Marcus’s studio working on the finishing touches of my last album. I was living alone, and I had spent the better part of the last year isolating myself as much as possible (when I wasn’t partying or pursuing awful, destructive relationships). My friends had all started a sobriety kick on January 1st, which I wasn’t inclined to join. It was the dead of winter, the worst time of year, when the sun sets at 4 PM, and I spent most evenings counting down the minutes until I could go to sleep. That night a friend was supposed to stay over, but she canceled, and I knew it was because she was pursuing her own awful, destructive on-and-off relationship. Everything felt so bleak. I got home with my nose running and my hands numb and sat down in the dark in my studio and wrote this song… It’s hard for me to listen to this song, even now. I feel so sad for that small, scared, trapped person that I was. I couldn’t see a way out. We saved some parts of that original demo I recorded in the moment, because they were so raw, painful, and unflinching. It felt like the first time I was really reckoning with myself and the downward freefall I had found myself in. Really, it felt like the first time I was being fully honest in a song.”

Kill the Muse follows the artist’s 2024 LP Girl Prometheus, Flower Face toured behind the album, playing shows at All Things Go Toronto, Sommo Festival, Phillips Backyard, and others alongside Lorde and Father John Misty.  Flower Face’s 2026 North American headline tour,  wraps up with SOLD-OUT shows at Public Records in Brooklyn on November 5th, and Schubas in Chicago on November 7th. From there, she heads to the UK and Europe, where her London show sold out in under an hour, and dates in Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, and Cologne are also Sold out.
