Morphology

flowy = flow (transparent) = flow + y

The adjective is transparently formed from 'flow' with the adjectival suffix '-y', yielding 'having a flowing quality' applicable to music or movement.

Etymology

Flowy comes from flow ('to move smoothly') and -y ('having'), so it describes a smooth, continuous style or movement like a dancer moving with a gentle stream. That's why music, writing, or dance is called flowy when it goes on easily and without sharp stops.
