Fred again.. has another album on the way.
Moments ago, the Grammy-winning producer and DJ took to social media to share a simple message. “I think I jus finished an album,” reads Fred’s post.
The prized British electronic artist and instrumentalist hasn’t shared any other details on the project just yet. But fans will no doubt be clamoring for more info on the forthcoming album, set to follow his heralded sample-driven LP Actual Life 3, which grabbed a 2024 Grammy for Best Dance/Electronic Music Album in February.
Spanning three markedly unique flagship projects thus far, including his Actual Life albums, the downtempo Secret Life LP with Brian Eno, and the rave-oriented productions found on his latest USB compilation, Fred’s rise has been absolutely meteoric.
Already widely regarded as one of the most prolific songwriters and producers in the music industry for his work with chart-toppers like Charli XCX, Stormzy, Ed Sheeran, and Headie One, to name a few, Fred Gibson launched his acclaimed solo project in 2019.
Soon, he’d boom in popularity with the release of his debut album, Actual Life, in 2021, the first in a groundbreaking now-three-part series centered around emotional vocal samples captured from “actual life,” be it hanging out with friends, life on the road, or off-the-cuff recording sessions.
Along with Actual Life selects like “Kyle (i found you)” and “Marea (we’ve lost dancing),” tunes from Actual Life 2 and Actual Life 3, such as “Billie (loving arms),” “Danielle (smile on my face),” and “Delilah (pull me out of this),” have become synonymous with dance music’s recent crash into the mainstream.
Meanwhile, the Grammy-winning “Rumble” with Skrillex and Flowdan, “Turn On The Lights again..” with Swedish House Mafia, and “Jungle” have become international rave anthems.
In just the last 18 months, Fred has graced some of the biggest stages on Earth, from his iconic B3B with buddies Skrillex and Four Tet at Madison Square Garden to his debut stadium headline at the LA Coliseum last month.
What frontier will Fred cross next? We’ll have to wait and see. Check out his announcement below.
