Unflirt is the solo project of Christine Sennorin, a Filipino-British artist based in West London.

Within a delicate soundscape woven from whispery vocals and shimmering guitar reverberations, it carefully portrays a farewell to one’s old self and a step toward a new identity.

Co-produced with jkarri, the arrangement is masterful too, building from a serene intro into increasing intensity.

It’s a work you’ll want to recommend to anyone standing at a turning point in life.

It’s a song he had already been performing live since June, and its fierce chorus and heavy beat evoke the aura of classic rock stardom.

A must-check for anyone who loves extreme, hard-hitting sounds.

Released in October 2025, this work is marked by an industrial soundscape of hefty low end and distorted synth layers, depicting an inner journey that confronts the past while stepping toward a new horizon.

It’s an ambitious piece that channels the protagonist’s turmoil—reimagined as a villain—through a tense, tightly wound sonic environment.

Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience the current UK underground scene.

The new track he released in October 2025 under a revamped label setup—Lava Music and Republic Records—symbolizes a true fresh start.

Rather than seeking validation, it powerfully resonates with the theme of reclaiming his own narrative.

Anthemic melodies fuse with an emotional rock sound, refining the pop-punk sensibilities he’s cultivated throughout his career.

His resolve to retell his story in a new environment leaves a deep impression on listeners.
