Flume and AlunaGeorge have officially unveiled their new collaboration "I Remember," the title track from the "In Control" group's upcoming album, due out sometime this year.
It had been circulating online ever since Flume played the track during at Ultra Music Festival last month, but now the full version is available to stream courtesy of a premiere on BBC Radio 1 as the Hottest Record in the World by Annie Mac.
"I Remember" is a low key tune with production by George Reid and Flume, putting together some soft synths and snare rolls that compliment the soothing vocals by George's better half Aluna.
The track should be out very soon as both artists prepare for Coachella this weekend with AlunaGeorge launching a viral sharing campaign to "unlock" the tune. Fans can head to AlunaGeorge.com and choose one of six options that range from taking pictures on Instagram to sharing and following playlists, profiles or songs on Spotify to help unlock the song. It is currently at 91 percent, so it should be available by the end of the day on Spotify ahead of its proper release tomorrow, April 15 via Interscope Records.
Speaking to Annie Mac after the premiere, Aluna speaks about the inspiration for the track and where they are as a group with their album. The tune is about bumping into an ex and while you may think you are over them at that point, but that interaction will bring back a lot of old memories.
The idea for the collaboration was sparked by random interactions at festivals. "Backstage we got chatting about what could do together in the studio," recalls Francis. "As musicians we can't resist having a collab."
Turning to new music, Francis says the album is "in the works." "We've just finished a couple of songs off it. We've hit our deadlines," she says, though there is no firm timeline for the album release. She hopes the album comes out while "it is still warm."
