Background and release


In early 2021, Elba was in Australia to film Thor: Love and Thunder (2022), and met Lime Cordiale after being introduced to their music.[5] Following this, the pair invited him into their recording studio to record a guest appearance on one of their songs. The recording sessions resulted in multiple songs being made, which formed a mini-album.[6] On 14 March 2021, Elba joined Lime Cordiale on stage at the Enmore Theatre in Sydney, to rap a new verse during a performance of "Unnecessary Things", a song from the deluxe edition of the latter's second studio album, 14 Steps to a Better You (2020).[7][8] Following this performance, Chugg Music executive Michael Chugg revealed to the Daily Telegraph that the duo had worked with Elba on new music together.[9]

On 16 September, the duo announced the single and revealed its release date.[10] "Apple Crumble" was released for digital download and streaming on 24 September 2021.[3][2] Alongside the song's release, they announced the forthcoming release of a collaborative mini-album, titled Cordi Elba.[6][11]


Critical reception


Tyler Jenke, writing for Rolling Stone Australia, called the collaboration "a bouncy, breezy showcase of their respective talents [that] is pure Lime Cordiale" and labelled Elba's vocals "slick".[6] Scenestr staff writers called the track "a fun ride through jaunty indie pop".[12]

On 22 January 2022, "Apple Crumble" was voted number 14 in Triple J's annual Hottest 100 competition of 2021.[13]


Commercial performance


On 27 September 2021, "Apple Crumble" was added to rotation on Australian youth broadcaster Triple J.[1] On 2 October 2021, the song debuted at number 68 on the Australian Radiomonitor Top 100 Airplay Chart.[14] It subsequently rose 14 places to number 54 the following week,[15] before falling to number 90 in its third week on the chart.[16]

In January 2022, children's band The Wiggles, released their cover version of Apple Crumble which appeared on their album ReWiggled.[17]
