Flower City is the nickname of Brampton, Ontario, the northwestern Toronto suburb where OVO R&B star Roy Woods was raised, and it provides the nocturnal backdrop to his second release of 2025, a conceptual seven-track mini LP that charts the life cycle of a relationship from seduction to disintegration. Powered by a twitchy, squelching beat, “Energize Bunny” sets that narrative in motion, with Woods combing the club for his next conquest, before the atmospheric textures and gentle bongo rhythms of “One Night Stand” thrust us into that dreamy dance-floor moment when you lock eyes with your future partner for the first time and everything around you starts moving in slow motion. But it wouldn’t be a Roy Woods album without a whole lot of drama, and—spoiler alert—there is no happy ending to be had here: The album reaches its emotional breaking point with the barbwire ballad “Supposed to Be My Lover,” while the closing “Crazy” sees a jilted Woods spiraling out in a state of dubby delirium.
