Album Description

Skin is the second studio album by Australian electronic musician Flume. It was released on 27 May 2016 by Future Classic. The album marks the second full-length release since his self-titled debut in 2012, making it four years between releases.
Skin premiered via a Facebook live stream on 26 May 2016, which also included video segments of Phil Taggart interviewing Flume at the album listening party in London. It received generally positive reviews and debuted at number one on the Australian Albums Chart, also peaking at number eight on the US Billboard 200. The album gained international recognition from the album's first single, "Never Be like You", which was nominated for Best Dance Recording.
Skin was named Album of the Year at the ARIA Music Awards of 2016. It also won the Best Dance/Electronic Album at the 2017 Grammy Awards.
User Album Review
Let's first talk about what kind of music this is. If you don't like electronic beats and you're coming into this with a closed mind, leave now, take your fake Fender clutching-ass back to the campfire so you can sing Jack Johnson and Dave Matthews to your beloved. Now let's get into this review.
Harley Edward Streten, you know the young man as Flume, has blessed us with a nearly perfect second album reminiscent of when Calvin Harris took over radio waves and festival scenes with 18 Hours, except Skin is brilliant across the board and actually deserves it. The 23-year-old Aussie beatmaker has now guaranteed crossover success without sharing the studio with Billboard chart-topping artists. Instead of leaning on the industry heavyweights, Streten calls upon some of the most talented up-and-comers in the game.
To be frank, this is the type of shit that fuels interracial relationships, cause when the hook sinks and the beat drops, hundreds of years of oppression, and your bigoted-ass parents completely fade away for a moment. Just focus on the blonde hair, tapioca skin tone and swaying hips b, I promise it will happen. Okay, I realize that's completely subjective but this is a music review, and this record is the audio equivalent of psychoactive mood enhancers. When Tove Lo hits her notes on “Say It,” she will make you wanna date white women and shop in Hollister and Express. And if those soul-sucking corporate hellholes with the overpriced v-necks and polo shirts haven’t made a licensing agreement with Streten, they need to get on that shit as soon as possible b.
If you’re still reading this review and need more evidence that the album is pure ecstasy, check Vince Staples absolutely slaughter the beat on "Smoke & Retribution.” With help from Australian singer Kučka on the chorus, my nigga from Long Beach goes from rapping about sticking people up, to chasing a girl who’s leading him on and forgetting about the goons trying to kill him. Now, the last time I heard from Staples, he was making headlines talking about how he started gang banging because he wanted to straight up kill niggas. You know damn well Flume’s beats are fire if you can get this dude to admit he’s in love with a girl who’s playing games.
I'm telling you, this album is primetime vodka and Molly music for summer 2016, my guy. This is not music for the Uber ride home by yourself at 3am, upset because you'll be alone for the rest of your life b. This is the shit you play before you make an ill-advised decision and cheat on the love of your life, or do some freaky shit with the person you forgot to formally break things off with. Essentially this record’s theme is all about embracing imperfections, saying fuck it, and getting down while you can. Okay, I hate myself for that sentence, but I have no idea who Toronto singer Kai is, and she sounds fucking perfect on “Never Be Like You.” Tell her people to hit up my people so we can do this joint interview with Streten on some behind-the-scenes shit. She might be the most slept on artist to date b.
I’m still unsure how Raekwon made it onto this album, but he’s been doing his thing trying to stay relevant lately. I see you rapping at halftime of the Toronto Raptors game, Chef. Anyways, his track “You Know” with Allan Kingdom feels like the 2016 version of “Soul Survivor,” except its about 6,000 times harder because who the hell wants to listen to Young Jeezy and Akon in 2016? I’m honestly too embarrassed to go listen to that, as if a tall tee, Air Force Ones, and an all-NBA logo jacket will magically appear on my body, effectively repelling all of the women in my life. This review is almost over, I promise.
The joint with AlunaGeorge is absurd b. I don’t even know what the fuck she’s saying but I promise you I’m arranging a date with my ex girl as I write this. “Innocence” will provide you with increased empathy, pleasure and effectively heighten all of your sensations.
I honestly can’t remember the last time I heard an album this potent b. Every other track is an absolute banger. Run The Jewels 2? To Pimp A Butterfly? Yeah, I said it, and I don’t want to hear your contrarian reactions either. This is the type of music that will unite the races. So the next time you see young Becky’s parents crying because she fell for the carefree black boy on the junior varsity basketball team, blame Streten and his ability to produce euphoria via melodic soundscapes b.
I'm giving the album 4.92 capsules of MDMA out of 5 because it's perfect music to play when you're about to hook up with your ex, ignoring the fact that deep down both of you know one of you will fuck up the arrangement sooner than later, but the sex is too good and nothing's better than coming down together, so you roll with it.
Standout tracks: "Smoke & Retribution," "Never Be Like You,” “Innocence” and "Say It." Be right back while I kiss the sky via vodka, Molly and the quarter-Lebanese girl from your textiles class.
