Flume Teams With Emma Louise for New Collaborative Album, ‘DUMB'
Grammy-winning Australian electronic musician Flume (a.k.a. Harley Streten) has joined forces with multi-hyphenate artist Emma Louise to craft a new collaborative album, DUMB. The forthcoming record is set for release on Aug. 22, with its release being previewed by way of the first single, 'Easy Goodbye.' More from Billboard K-pop Rules as Netflix's 'KPop Demon Hunters' Soundtrack Holds ARIA No. 1 Max McNown Expands 'Night Diving' With 11 New Songs: Stream It Now Soccer Mommy Covers Pavement's 'Gold Soundz' for 'Like a Version' 'The title DUMB is loaded with weight for me,' Louise says. 'Growing up undiagnosed neurodivergent, I often felt dumb—struggling at school, forgetting things, silencing myself to fit in. In the studio, whenever we got stuck, Harley and I would laugh and say 'make it dumb' to stop overthinking. It worked every time. 'At first, naming the album DUMB felt irreverent and freeing, but later I realised how deeply it connected to my own fear of being seen as stupid and unworthy,' she continued. 'This album is me reclaiming that word, letting go of shame, and promising myself I'll never abandon my voice again.' Louise first rose to fame in 2011 with her debut single 'Jungle,' which received airplay thanks to Australian radio station triple j's Unearthed platform, which uncovers unsigned talent. That same year, Flume uploaded his first songs to the same platform, with his self-titled 2013 debut winning three of his eight nominations at that year's ARIA Awards – which also saw Louise nominated for best female artist. While Flume would hit No. 8 on the Billboard 200 with 2016's Skin (which also saw him win best dance/electronic album at the 2017 Grammys), the pair would not work together formally until 2022, when Louise appeared on the track 'Hollow' from Flume's Palaces LP. Flume ended a two-year musical hiatus in May, releasing the We Live in a Society EP with JPEGMafia, and is currently working on his fourth studio album. Louise, meanwhile, has not released a full studio album 2018's Lilac Everything, though she has collaborated with the likes of Flight Facilities before her debut single received viral attention on TikTok.

Listen Out: Australian music festival cancelled for 2025 but announces ‘one-off curated parties'
Organisers of an annual Australian music festival, which has attracted the likes of Denzel Curry, Flume and Diplo on lineups over the years, have confirmed the event won't be going ahead this year. Listen Out has been cancelled for 2025, with a post shared on social media saying it could happen due to not being able to curate a 'cultural and energetic' lineup that 'flows' between musicians and fans. ' breath. This one's tough. Listen Out won't be going ahead this year,' the post said. 'We've always tried to build something special where the lineup reflects the culture and the energy flows both ways between the artists and last few years have been tough. 'So, we're hitting pause on Listen Out as you know it. But we're not going anywhere.' Instead, the team behind the popular festival will introduce Listen Out Presents. A 'one off carefully curated parties in killer locations around Australia all year long'. Perth has been confirmed as a location for this featuring 'some of the best artists in the world'. 'We're still here for the good in a new way. We're not saying anything now,' the post continued. Disappointed music lovers took to the comments section of the post with messages of outrage. 'This is not okay,' one fan said. Another fan said: 'Had me excited for it.' 'That's a joke, where are all the good festivals going? I was counting on listen out to pull though ugh,' a third added. Some people felt jipped by the fact the festival had last month teased the event and encouraged fans to 'Sign up for Listen Out '25' for updates. The cancellation comes after last year's headliners pulled out within days of the event. South African R&B singer Tyla and US rapper Flo Milli cancelled their Australian trip just two days before they were set to take the stage at venues in Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane and Sydney. Aussie artist Lithe and American DJ John Summit also pulled out. Summit addressed his cancellation in a TikTok video after the event happened saying: 'A lot of American artists dropped from this festival for 'personal reasons''.
