We Live in a Society is a collaborative extended play (EP) by Australian electronic musician Flume and American rapper JPEGMafia. The EP was announced on 30 April 2025 and released digitally on 2 May 2025.[4][5] It is Flume's first independent project (outside of Future Classic).[6][7]

Background and promotion

[edit]

Flume and JPEGMafia have previously collaborated on the track "How to Build a Relationship", included on the former's 2019 mixtape Hi This Is Flume; he later co-produced "New Black History" and "Cult Status", featured on JPEGMafia's 2024 album I Lay Down My Life for You.[8][4] The sessions for the EP took place roughly two months before JPEGMafia and Danny Brown's collaborative album, Scaring the Hoes, released.[4]

On 24 April 2025, Flume and JPEGMafia released "Track 1" exclusively on YouTube, with an animated music video created by James Blagden.[9] It was followed by the music video for "AI Girlfriend" on 1 May 2025, co-directed by Logan Fields and JPEGMafia.[10]

Reception

[edit]

Zachary Norvath from HotNewHipHop felt that the EP "doesn't have much of a sonic direction", feeling "like more of a bridge project for Flume." He concludes that despite this, it doesn't mean that "there aren't good things to take from it."[6]
