'The title DUMB is loaded with weight for me,' Louise says. 'Growing up undiagnosed neurodivergent, I often felt dumb—struggling at school, forgetting things, silencing myself to fit in. In the studio, whenever we got stuck, Harley and I would laugh and say 'make it dumb' to stop overthinking. It worked every time.
'At first, naming the album DUMB felt irreverent and freeing, but later I realised how deeply it connected to my own fear of being seen as stupid and unworthy,' she continued. 'This album is me reclaiming that word, letting go of shame, and promising myself I'll never abandon my voice again.'
Louise first rose to fame in 2011 with her debut single 'Jungle,' which received airplay thanks to Australian radio station triple j's Unearthed platform, which uncovers unsigned talent.
That same year, Flume uploaded his first songs to the same platform, with his self-titled 2013 debut winning three of his eight nominations at that year's ARIA Awards – which also saw Louise nominated for best female artist.
While Flume would hit No. 8 on the Billboard 200 with 2016's Skin (which also saw him win best dance/electronic album at the 2017 Grammys), the pair would not work together formally until 2022, when Louise appeared on the track 'Hollow' from Flume's Palaces LP.
Flume ended a two-year musical hiatus in May, releasing the We Live in a Society EP with JPEGMafia, and is currently working on his fourth studio album. Louise, meanwhile, has not released a full studio album 2018's Lilac Everything, though she has collaborated with the likes of Flight Facilities before her debut single received viral attention on TikTok.

‘General Hospital' says goodbye to major character after seven years
Sofia Mattsson has left Port Charles. After starring as Sasha Gilmore on 'General Hospital' for seven years, the actress, 34, departed the series on Friday. In the episode, Sasha reunited with her dad, Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers), and decided to move away to spend time with her parents and newborn daughter, Daisy. 12 Sofia Mattsson on 'General Hospital.' Disney via Getty Images Steve Burton's Jason wished Sasha a farewell in a way that would make it easy for the star to return. As he put it, 'You'll always have a home to come back to.' 'There was a good time in the storyline for Sofia to leave to pursue other opportunities in film and TV,' the show's rep told TV Insider on Friday. 'But she is open for a return in the future.' 12 Sofia Mattsson and Steve Burton on the soap opera. Disney via Getty Images 'It was emotional for sure,' Mattsson added to the outlet about her last day on set. 'Cleaning out my room and knowing that I wouldn't see all my friends there like usual every other day felt sad. But everyone was so supportive and excited for me.' While her exit feels 'bittersweet,' the soap opera vet is looking forward to what lies ahead. 'I've had such a great time, but I'm also excited for a new chapter and to continue my acting journey in new projects.' 12 Sofia Mattsson as Sasha Gilmore. Disney via Getty Images But Mattsson isn't saying goodbye to soap operas for good. 'I'd have to see what the role was,' she confessed about the prospect of returning one day, 'but I'm definitely not opposed to coming back to the soap world. I think being on a soap is one of the best jobs you can have as an actress.' Mattsson first joined the ABC drama in 2018 and appeared in over 500 episodes. In 2022, her sister, actress Helena Mattsson, took over the role of Sasha for two episodes when Mattsson was away. 12 Sofia Mattsson as pregnant Sasha Gilmore. Disney via Getty Images Meanwhile, the 'Becoming Bond' alum's final scene with Rogers, 79, comes on the heels of his cancer announcement. On Thursday, the 'General Hospital' star shared his health battle with fans through his publicist, Anthony Turk. 'Beloved Emmy-winning actor Tristan Rogers, best known for his role as Robert Scorpio on the daytime drama, 'General Hospital,' revealed to his fans that he has been diagnosed with cancer,' Turk's statement, obtained by Soap Opera Digest, read. 12 Tristan Rogers and Maurice Benard. ABC via Getty Images 'While he remains hopeful and is working closely with his medical team on a treatment plan, this is a challenging time for Tristan and his family. As they face both the emotional and physical burdens that come with this diagnosis, the family kindly asks for privacy and understanding,' the publicist continued. Turk did not reveal what kind of cancer Rogers was battling. He did, however, thank those who have stuck by the actor and his family. 'They are deeply grateful for the outpouring of support and love from their friends and family. Tristan sends his love to his fans and wants them to know how much he appreciates their loyalty and encouragement over the years,' the statement concluded. 'This support means more to him now than ever. Future updates will be shared if deemed appropriate by Tristan and his family.' 12 Kin Shriner as Scott Baldwin on 'General Hospital.' ABC via Getty Images Rogers has played District Attorney Robert Scorpio on and off since 1980. He first portrayed the character from his start in the '80s until 1992, when he first left the show. He's made several returns to Port Charles over the decades. In 2018, the Emmy winner told Soap Opera Digest why he loves playing the beloved district attorney. 12 Kelly Monaco and Cameron Mathison on the ABC drama. ABC via Getty Images 'Robert has always had kind of a glib approach to everything; he's a bit of a smart-mouth,' Rogers explained. 'I'm working with a lot of different people,' he added of his comeback. 'And I think the fans are going to like it.' 'General Hospital' is currently in its 62nd season after debuting in 1963. In recent years, the series has undergone numerous cast shake-ups. Last summer, Kelly Monaco, who starred as Sam McCall from 2003 to 2024, blasted the soap after she was fired following a 21-year run. The star, 49, claimed it was 'retaliation.' 12 Eva LaRue during her one year run on 'GH.' Disney Monaco replied to a comment on Soap Hub's Instagram post that read, 'What do you got concrete in your head she wasn't fired she didn't take the pay cut so she had to leave.' In response, the actress wrote: ''No primary role'.. do your homework. When Billy Miller was fired, Sam's storyline stopped. Stripping Sam of every characteristic she had. Something I worked for decades to build… Slowly dismantling her, into a character that I did not recognize, let alone the audience. Call it what you will… retaliation at it [sic] finest. I will give a proper statement. The truth will set you free.' Shortly after, Brooklyn Rae Silzer, who portrayed Emma Drake for 13 years, was replaced by Braedyn Bruner. The 19-year-old shared on X that she was 'forever grateful' for her role. 12 Kirsten Storms as Maxie Jones. Disney via Getty Images Kin Shriner, who played the iconic Scott Baldwin from 1977 to 2024, confirmed he was let go from the show last year, as well. The actor, 71, starred in over 1,700 episodes of 'General Hospital.' Shriner also reprised his role on the short-lived spinoff, 'Port Charles,' from 1997 to 2002. But after more than 40 years as the Port Charles villain, he was written off. One viewer took to X to ask why Scott had just disappeared with no mention, penning: 'Wow, nothing like disrespecting your longest serving character…#GH.' 12 'General Hospital' cast photo. ABC via Getty Images Shriner echoed the fan's sentiments, retweeting the post and responding, 'I don't understand any of it, I went to get glazed donuts and coffee for the doctor!!' Earlier this month, Eva LaRue also bid adieu to the community of Port Charles. After playing Natalia Rogers-Ramirez for only one year, she exited the soap. But there were no hard feelings for the star. 12 'General Hospital' airs Monday-Friday on ABC. Disney via Getty Images 'I was originally only supposed to be on the show for a couple of months,' LaRue, 58, shared with Soap Digest. 'And it ended up being a much longer run, which was great.' Last week, Kirsten Storms revealed she is taking an extended break from the series after playing Maxie Jones for nearly 20 years. The actress, 41, is relocating to Nashville with her daughter, Harper, 11, whom she shares with her ex-husband and fellow soap star, Brandon Borash. 12 The cast and crew of 'General Hospital' celebrates the 15,000th episode milestone. ABC via Getty Images 'It's possible I will be back in December, maybe November,' Storms said in an Instagram video. 'I promise you the story line they have going on until my return to Port Charles is kind of incredible. You guys are gonna freak out actually.'

"Clueless" Stars: How They Look 30 Years Later
Brace yourselves — Clueless, which is arguably the best teen movie of all time, turns 30 this month. Yes, 30. The big 3-0. It is THIRTY YEARS OLD. Now that we all feel like our bones are crumbling to dust, let's check in with the cast and where they're at now... Alicia Silverstone as Cher: Clueless was one of Alicia's first film roles, and she went on to star in other '90s icons like Excess Baggage, Batman and Robin, and Blast From the Past. She's continued acting steadily over the years, recently in Netflix's The Baby-Sitters Club series. She's also a passionate animal rights activist and vegan. Paul Rudd as Josh: Although he had appeared in some TV series before Clueless, Josh was actually Paul's first big screen role. Since then, he's had a prolific and varied career, with roles in Romeo + Juliet, Friends, Parks and Recreation, Anchorman, The 40-Year Old Virgin, and, of course, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (and a whole bunch more). Most recently, he starred in Death of a Unicorn with Jenna Ortega. Stacey Dash as Dionne: Stacey had steady roles both before and after Clueless, although none that reached quite the same level of icon status. She was one of the film's few cast members to reprise their role in the Clueless spin-off TV series, which lasted three seasons. These days, she's perhaps more associated with her outspoken, conservative political views. Brittany Murphy as Tai: Before Clueless, Brittany had a fair amount of experience in TV roles, and went on to a successful big screen career, with notable roles in movies like Drop Dead Gorgeous, Girl Interrupted, Riding in Cars with Boys, 8 Mile, Just Married, and Uptown Girls. She also voiced Luanne in King of the Hill. Sadly, she died in December 2009 from pneumonia. She's pictured above right in 2009, just weeks before her death. Elisa Donovan as Amber: Elisa had some small parts in the lead up to Clueless, but her role as Cher's frenemy Amber became what she's most known for — especially since she also reprised the role in the TV spin-off. She also had a notable role in the later seasons of Sabrina, The Teenage Witch, and continued acting over the years, with her most recent onscreen role in 2017's MDMA. Donald Faison as Murray: Clueless was Donald's first major role, and he went on to star in the Clueless TV series as well as movies like Can't Hardly Wait and Remember the Titans. He's now most known for his leading role as Turk alongside Zach Braff in the TV show Scrubs. Breckin Meyer as Travis: Breckin was a child actor prior to Clueless, and afterwards he starred in movies like The Craft, Can't Hardly Wait, Josie and the Pussycats, and Garfield. He also did voice work for King of the Hill alongside fellow Clueless alumni Brittany Murphy, and performed in, wrote, and produced Robot Chicken, which Donald Faison also did voice work for. Jeremy Sisto as Elton: Jeremy had a few roles before Clueless, and has continued acting since, most notably in TV series like Six Feet Under, Law & Order, Suburgatory, The Returned, and most recently, FBI: International. Dan Hedaya as Mel: As one of the "adult" cast, Dan Hedaya had acted extensively before his role as Cher's father, Mel, in Clueless, including in movies like The Hunger, Joe Versus the Volcano, and The Addams Family, and TV shows like Cheers, The Tortellis, and Family Ties. He continued acting until recently — his last onscreen role was in 2021's The God Committee. Wallace Shawn as Mr. Hall: Wallace Shawn was perhaps the most well-known cast member prior to Clueless, having starred in one of the greatest movies of all time, The Princess Bride, as well as co-written and starred in the classic My Dinner with Andre, amongst many other roles. In the same year as Clueless, he also voiced Rex in Toy Story and Principal Mazur in A Goofy Movie. He continues to act and do voice work. In recent years, he's perhaps best known for his roles in Young Sheldon and Gossip Girl. In addition to acting and screenwriting, he's also a playwright and has published multiple books of essays. Twink Caplan as Ms. Geist: Twink Caplan (pictured above right in 2013) was known for her role in Look Who's Talking before Clueless. In the years since, she's worked as a producer and actor, most recently with small parts in the TV shows All That and Royalties. Justin Walker as Christian: Clueless was Justin's very first role, and while he did take on a few roles afterwards, he seemingly left the entertainment industry by 2005, when he had his last onscreen role in the movie Takeout. He now appears to be extremely private.

'Untamed' Finale Explained - Who Killed Lucy?
Netflix's newest miniseries, Untamed, is probably one of the most aesthetically pleasing murder-mystery shows out there. Set in Yosemite National Park, it has stunning landscapes, waterfalls, and wildlife in basically every shot. But the thing about a 750,000-acre park where dozens of people have gone missing, never to be seen again, is it also provides a pretty darn spooky backdrop for a whodunnit murder show. The entire series revolves around federal agent Kyle Turner as he tries to figure out who killed a young woman, later identified as Lucy Cook, inside the park. And while that's going on, we also slowly learn bits and pieces about Kyle's son, Caleb, who was killed inside the park years earlier. After five episodes of build-up, the finale explosively unraveled every mystery and I, for one, was left shooketh. So who killed Lucy? And what happened with Caleb? And what does that drug trafficking ring have to do with any of it? Let's get into it! At the end of episode 5, Kyle, having found video of Shane Maguire (the guy living on his own in the park with that massive gun) on Lucy's phone, goes to arrest him. When he gets to Shane's camp, he finds a pill bottle marked with an X on the top—the same as the bottles that were being trafficked around the park with the same X that Lucy had tattooed on her arm. While holding the bottle, Kyle gets shot in the side of the stomach. As to be expected, it was Shane who shot him and the two engage in a shootout through the mountains. With Kyle hurt and bleeding, Shane manages to catch up to him. But just as he's about to kill Kyle, Ranger Naya Vasquez saves the day, showing up in the nick of time and taking out Shane. Kyle passes out from his injuries but wakes up in a hospital where he's expected to make a full recovery. Lucy went missing when she was a little girl but was found dead many years later as a young woman, so we were all left wondering where the hell was she this whole time? Well, Kyle, now back in action, follows up on a tip he received about a girl who looked like Lucy having been at a foster home in Nevada years ago. He drives out to the home, and although the woman who lives there is elderly, living in hoarder-like conditions, and can't fully answer Kyle's questions, she does mention Lucy. Kyle also finds a depressing-looking room in the basement that locks from the outside where the foster kids would have slept all together with sleeping bags. He manages to track down the biological daughter of the foster mom who explains her parents essentially ran the foster home as a side hustle, taking money from parents in exchange for housing their child. She says they barely fed the kids and kept them locked in the basement most days. She remembers Lucy and said she was in the home for a few years before she ran away. (Presumably back to Yosemite, since we see a flashback of her in the park with one of the other nomads who lives there.) The biggest mystery of the whole show is who killed Lucy? After Shane's sus behaviour, everyone assumes it was him, though we don't know exactly why. Kyle guesses that maybe she became a liability for Shane and the drug trade. But when Kyle is talking to the foster parents' daughter in Nevada, she mentions something: Lucy always used to say her police officer father was going to show up and arrest everyone and take her away. Something clicks for Kyle and he resends Lucy's DNA to be tested. He then goes to confront Chief Paul Souter. Turns out Paul had an affair with Lucy's mother years ago and he's Lucy's real father. When Lucy's mother was dying, she told Lucy the truth about her father. He was also the one who took Lucy to the abusive foster family (although he claims he'd been told they were good people). When Lucy ran away from the home, she came back to the park to see Paul, but he turned her away. He claims she kept coming back demanding more and more money, threatening to blow his life up if he didn't comply. One day, she took Paul's granddaughter, Sadie, from the house. Paul confronted Lucy at gunpoint, and she, understandably, tried to run away. Paul shot her in the leg but she kept running and made her way to the edge of a cliff where she then stepped off it, falling to her death. Filled with shame and knowing Kyle is about to expose him to everyone, Paul shoots himself. Two of the show's background mysteries end up being tied together in a shocking twist. We find out via a confession from Kyle's ex-wife, Jill, that the man who killed their son was named Sean Sanderson. YES! The same Sean Sanderson who's been missing for five years, whose case Kyle was put in charge of at the time, and whose lawyer has been poking around trying to get info for a wrongful death lawsuit. Kyle found out Sanderson was responsible for the murder because Shane Maguire caught him on some wildlife cameras he'd put up in the park, and Shane showed the footage to Kyle. Shane offered to kill Sanderson, but Kyle said no. Jill, though, not wanting to have to go through a trial and listen to Sanderson try to defend himself, paid Shane to do the deed. Kyle only found out what happened when Sanderson was reported missing, and Jill says it was this betrayal that led to their divorce–another mini plot twist, considering we were led to believe it was likely Kyle who was responsible for their separation.
