Flora Cash

Shpresa Lleshaj and Cole Randall form the Swedish–American musical duo Flora Cash. Under that moniker, the pair primarily works in music but also collaborates in other fields. Lleshaj and Randall began working together in Sweden as Flora Cash after meeting in Minneapolis. On December 12, 2012, they released their debut EP, Mighty Fine. Made It for You, their second EP, was released on June 13, 2013. Lleshaj and Randall also married that year. On September 20, 2014, they released their third EP, I Will Be There. A couple of singles followed. Then, in March 2016, they released "Can Summer Love Last Forever?" after signing with the Swedish label Icons Creating Evil Art in 2015. The seven-song mini-LP earned them nominations for two GAFFA awards, as Swedish Artist of the Year and Swedish Newcomer of the Year. After debuting on Pandora Radio's Predictions chart in August 2018 and holding at number 4 in September, "You're Somebody Else" entered the Top 10 on both Billboard's Alternative charts and the Adult Alternative Airplay Chart in November. The song peaked at number one, on both Mediabase and Radio adult radio formats. On October 22, 2021, Flora Cash released their third full-length album, Our Generation, to popular and critical acclaim. The breakout single from Our Generation, "Soul Mate", has garnered more than nine million streams on Spotify, and the accompanying video has received over 1.5 million views.

In 2018, Flora Cash toured the U.S., sharing the stage with Amen Dunes, Aquilo, SYML, and Superorganism. Between late 2018 and late 2019, the duo toured with Sir Sly, Joywave, Lovelytheband, Judah & the Lion, and AJR. They announced their first U.S. headlining tour in late 2019 for early 2020, called the Baby, It's Okay tour. It sold out within several days but was subsequently canceled due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
