| Song |
"Smoke & Retribution" is a collaborative song by Australian electronica musician and producer, Flume featuring American rapper Vince Staples & fellow Australian Kučka. It made its premier on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 radio show and was released on 29 January 2016 by Future Classic. [1] The track is taken from his forthcoming album, Skin.[2]
Background
Flume explained how the collaboration occurred explaining that he had started work on this song in the back of a van on the way to Las Vegas in mid-2015. Flume said, “It wasn't originally intended to have rap on it. Vince and I got to meet in person for the first time in L.A. in September, and that's when I showed him the beat... a few weeks later he sent back new verses for it. I was really happy, I love the tone of his voice... Similar story with Kučka's involvement in the track... she's got a lot of talent and I'm hoping to work a lot more with her in the future." [3]
Reviews
In a positive review, Ryan Middleton of Music Times said “In "Smoke & Retribution" Flume continues to show growth away from his oft-copied Australian synth-heavy sound for a track that is more conducive to a rapper, but also remains familiar to what Flume fans know the Australia producer for. He adds in quirky 8-bit synths, video game sounds and a jerky beat that molds to the sensibilities of Staples and Kučka.” [4]
Confluence of Sound said “Here, synths flicker and flare as guest collaborators Vince Staples and Kučka unfurl lines both swaggering and hypnotic.” [5]
