Flume took over the Internet when he previewed his upcoming album Skin a few weeks ago, and now he’s unleashed his first full single from the project, titled ‘Never Be Like You’.

The synth-heavy slow-burner features Kai, a rising Canadian vocalist who has already written for the likes of RIhanna and Jessie J. Speaking on the track, Flume said:

“Kai and I were sending ideas back and forth online, then met up in NYC and went into the studio. We laid down some chords and started an idea but weren’t feeling inspired. So we went out into the night for a few hours and when we returned, it all started to come together.”

Kai explained her motivations behind the writing process:

“The song comes from an extremely personal place. It’s about a moment in my own life when everything was going really well and my inner saboteur tried to do what she does best. At the end of the day we are all human and flawed and I felt like I needed to be as real and as candid as possible. I am absolutely in love with this song.”
