We already wrote about plans of australian producer Flume (aka Harley Streten). Skin is the second album that will be out later this year on Transgressive Records. “Never Be Like You” (feat. Kai) is the first excerpt. Listen below.
Premiering overnight as ‘Hottest Record In The World’ by Annie Mac at BBC’s Radio 1, the track is a collaborative effort with Canadian vocalist Kai – a rising artist in her own right having written for Jessie J, Rihanna and Janelle Monae as well as featuring on tracks by Diplo, Jack U and Childish Gambino.
Flume said of the writing process: “Kai and I were sending ideas back and forth online, then met up in NYC and went into the studio. We laid down some chords and started an idea but weren’t feeling inspired. So we went out into the night for a few hours and when we returned, it all started to come together”.
Kai said of the track: “The song comes from an extremely personal place. It’s about a moment in my own life when everything was going really well and my inner saboteur tried to do what she does best. At the end of the day we are all human and flawed and I felt like I needed to be as real and as candid as possible. I am absolutely in love with this song”.
