Whether it’s for his unparalleled outpour of new music or recent questionable shenanigans, there is no denying that the spotlight has been shining on Flume all throughout 2019. From his exploration into the limitless realms of experimental electronic music in Hi This Is Flume to demonstrating his production prowess alongside talented vocalists in ‘Let You Know‘ and the Quits EP, the Australian record-maker has gone above and beyond all expectations.
Today, Flume returns with yet another single titled ‘Rushing Back’ featuring Vera Blue. First teased in a live performance at Lollapalooza back in August, the anticipation for the release of this track has grown exponentially over the last few weeks. With an incredible artwork featuring the number “3,” some are even speculating that this is the third single from a potential album coming later this year. All speculation aside, what we know with certainty is that ‘Rushing Back’ is Flume at his finest.
Combining the experimental sounds of Hi This Is Flume with his flawless ability to work around powerful lead vocals, ‘Rushing Back’ is bound to please a wide spectrum of music lovers. The inundation of emotion throughout the track comes from both the heartfelt, moving vocal sections and the pristine melodic elements. Flowing seamlessly between these two distinct sections, Flume and Vera Blue have created a radio-friendly hit that is too catchy for electronic music fans to dislike.
Familiar yet experimental, ‘Rushing Back’ may be Flume’s best track of 2019. Do you agree?
