Rising NZ Pop Artist Flynn Adamson Delivers Nostalgic New Single “2016”
Rising New Zealand pop artist Flynn Adamson captures the pull of nostalgia on his new single “2016,” a glossy, hook-driven pop track about the person who brings you back to the best version of yourself.
Driven by Flynn’s warm, heartfelt vocal and grunty pop production, the track balances emotional honesty with undeniable pop energy. With its memorable hook — “hold me that way, I don’t need space” — “2016” blends reflective storytelling with an infectious ear-worm chorus that lingers long after the song ends.
For Flynn, the song is deeply personal. “Writing ‘2016’ was a sweet experience because I moved away from my family home this year. It’s about someone who reminds you of your childhood and the best parts of where you came from. I felt that was worthy of a song.”
“2016” continues to position Flynn Adamson as one of Aotearoa’s emerging pop voices to watch in 2026.
Flynn Adamson is a Christchurch-born pop artist delivering bright guitar-driven hooks, smooth vocals and the energy of a live band. Blending modern pop production with a grungy live edge, his performances feel both intimate and stadium-ready.
Flynn has appeared at major New Zealand events including Christmas in the Park and Selwyn Sounds, sharing stages with leading Kiwi acts such as The Butlers and Will Swinton.
