"Say It" follows Flume's breakout hit "Never Be Like You" off his new album Skin, out now on Mom + Pop.
"Never Be Like You" has been certified 2x Platinum in the U.S. The massively successful track cracked the Top 10 at Pop Radio and has accrued more than 466 million streams (across Spotify, SoundCloud, Apple, YouTube, Pandora and Vevo) to date.
Flume is in the midst of a world tour with more than 310,000 tickets sold to date and 53 shows sold out worldwide. He's set to embark this week on the Australian leg, following a string of massively successful North American dates-including New York's Forest Hills Stadium and four consecutive nights at L.A.'s Shrine Expo Hall-as well as a tour of Europe.
Skin continues to receive critical praise-Rolling Stone featured it as one of the "Best 45 Albums of 2016 So Far" while TIME furthers, "it sounds like the future of electronic music." The album debuted #1 in Australia and New Zealand, #3 in Belgium and #8 in the U.S. and Canada.
Flume is 24-year-old Australian producer Harley Streten. Since his 2012 breakout with the release of his self-titled debut, Flume continues to receive feverish support from fans and critics alike, becoming one of the first artists to top 200 million Soundcloud and one of the world's most popular on Spotify. The New York Times praises Flume's "darkly textured electronic songs with a soulful edge."
