Flume gears up for new music return

0

Flume has announced his long-awaited return for 2019.

Sharing a New Year message on his Instagram, the Australian beatmaker teased fans, saying “Cheers 2018. Next year I’ll be back in your life, I promise.”

Flume’s last studio album, ‘Skin’, was released back in 2016 – the project also saw him receive his first-ever Grammy Award for in the ‘best dance/electronic album’ category. Since then he has released two companion EPs, whilst recently the producer also teased studio work with Baauer and KUČKA.

Rihanna teases new album release date

0

Rihanna has teased her Navy fanbase with the release-date of her anticipated new album.

When asked on a recent Instagram post – “but when is the album dropping Robyn? Can we have a release date for that?”, RiRi replied with a lowly “2019”.

Rihanna’s previous studio album ‘Anti’ received accolades upon its 2016 release; prior to that, the singer had released new records within a 12-24 month gap. The wait between ‘Anti’ and her forthcoming project marks the longest gap in her career.

Earlier this year, rumours emerged that Rihanna may be working on a double-album – one half featuring ‘chart-friendly songs’, the other comprised ‘moody and experimental tracks’ akin to ‘Anti’. According to Metro, “Rihanna wasn’t happy with how her last album performed – even though she loved how it turned out, she knows she needs a new project full of smash hits to avoid two back-to-back flops…she’s currently recording two albums – one full of chart-friendly songs, and another made up of moody and experimental tracks – and is considering releasing a double disc if she feels the songs won’t mesh well on the same album.”.
