You know? To sort of say, great we love this what’s next? Sorta what I do. Zane Lowe: So, what are we looking forward to? I know, I don’t want to rush it here but that’s kinda my gig. He’s just got an amazing voice and he’s just great to work with.
Zane Lowe: Yeah.įlume: I think he’s definitely going to be one to watch. And it’s with Reo and he’s such a talented dude. And now “Friends” is the first single coming out. At least that’s what I hear, I don’t know if that was what you were trying to achieve.įlume: To me the mixtape was kinda like a playground, like a fun place to just be super creative. Listen: Hi This Is Flume (Mixtape)įlume on what’s next after the release of his mixtape: Zane Lowe: So, that’s an extension of the Mixtape, but now with Reo Cragun, of course, and the song “Friends.” Which kind of, I think, Flume, it sort of finds you in sort of the two worlds that the mixtape has delivered on, which is your melodic side searching for the structure of a song that you’ve mastered in the past but wanting to kind of break it and make it very unpredictable at the same time. Flume is back the song is called “Friends.” It’s been out for a minute, but of course we love what we have to play it over and over again, featuring Reo Cragun. Hold tight we’re gonna come back and catch up with you in a second.
If the studio, I find it much easier to create. Yeah, I mean, there was one I did in Portland at some point. I mean, that’s your best life.įlume: Yeah. Zane Lowe: Were there any particular places that, you know, you really loved creating in? Because I know studios are studios, but when you wake up in a different town, you have an afternoon or a day off, and you get to go book somewhere and make some music. And the mixtape, that was just all around the world, man that was just like touring and hauling into the studio on my day off … on the bus, wherever. Zane Lowe: Yup.įlume: And yeah, we just did some music and it just flowed really well. Where were you when you were making “Friends,” making this mixtape? What was the environment?įlume: “Friends” was actually done in LA with Reo Cragun. I don’t know if you were doing one of your characteristic travels around the world. Zane Lowe: I don’t even know where you were when you made this music. Life is all the more better with your triumphant and explosive return. What’s up, man?įlume: I’m doing well, how are you? Zane Lowe: I’m doing great. Flume on recording process behind “Friends” and the mixtape: Zane Lowe: Is this guy …įlume: Hello? Zane Lowe: Buddy! I know it’s early, man, and you were hard at work in the studio, but it’s really nice to hear your voice. The mixtape currently sits in the #1 spot on Apple Music’s Top Electronic Albums chart. The song is Flume’s first official single, following his Hi This Is Flume mixtape, which was released last week. Zane Lowe chats with Flume about his new song “Friends (feat. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.The song is his first official single, following his “Hi This Is Flume mixtape,” which was released last week. Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through.
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. Don't wanna be friends, I don't wanna be friends
