Album of the Year Nomination #2 - Flume - Skin


Two albums this month (both Australian) have now been announced as this years potential Album of The Year for 2016.

Flume has had a monster 2016 and builds on his near perfect solid debut album.


Hailing from the Northern beaches of Sydney Flume is one talented 24 year old. With Never Be Like You easily the biggest Australian (if not overall) single of 2016 thus far. Teaming up with Canadian singer Kai this has been a monster anthem. Selling in excess of 210,000 copies in Australia alone and across the ditch in New Zealand the song has gone on to two times platinum and peaked at Number 7.

Smoke and Retribution was our next very different taste and this time featuring a local Kucka (simply amazing BTW) and Vince Staples. This track was an instant hit on my iPhone and a radio smash across Australia. Peaking at number 23 in Australia.

Say It with Tove Lo hit the airwaves and became a third instant hit and went on to sell Gold and peak at Number 7.

This Friday Flume will score his second number one record for sure.

Flume, easily one of the biggest acts in the world right now and selling out large stadium tours nationwide, what a brilliant local success story. Here's to my second album of the year nomination for 2016.
