Flume and Emma Louise might have titled it DUMB, however their subsequent collaborative chapter sounds something however.
The Grammy-winning producer is returning August twenty second with DUMB, a full-length challenge alongside Australian singer-songwriter Emma Louise. The challenge marks Flume’s first long-form launch since his 2023 mixtape, Issues Do not At all times Go the Manner You Plan.
The announcement arrives with the challenge’s lead single, “Simple Goodbye,” a shimmering detour by way of emotional wreckage. The monitor fuses his signature glitch-and-surge manufacturing with Louise’s breathy, delicate vocals. It’s a parting track in each sense, with warbling synths and fractured textures swirling round melancholic lyrics.
Flume and Louise beforehand teamed up for “Hole” on Palaces, however this time it’s extra private. As Billboard notes, Louise, who grew up undiagnosed as neurodivergent, refers to DUMB as an act of reclamation. “At first, naming the album DUMB felt irreverent and liberating, however later I spotted how deeply it linked to my very own worry of being seen as silly and unworthy,” she stated. “This album is me reclaiming that phrase, letting go of disgrace, and promising myself I’ll by no means abandon my voice once more.”
You possibly can hearken to “Simple Goodbye” forward of the total album launch on streaming providers right here earlier than the album is launched on August twenty second, 2025.
