Even as one of the leading names in dance music, Fred again.. has a friendly, relatable vibe that resonates with his fans. His communication on social media gives us the feeling of catching up with a close friend, and his music reflects a deeply personal and vulnerable journey, reminding us that we are not alone in our struggles. Today, Fred again.. has released his highly anticipated album, ten days, featuring 10 tracks inspired by 10 significant days from the past year. The album showcases collaborations with artists like Sampha, Emmylou Harris, The Japanese House, Joy Anonymous, Four Tet, Skrillex, and more.
ten days marks Fred again..’s first solo album since the Actual Life series, and it delivers a remarkable experience. The album covers a vast emotional spectrum, from the highs of falling in love to the lows of feeling numb, capturing joy and regret alike. Fred again..’s remarkable ability to translate emotions into music creates an immersive experience for listeners, making this album, like all of his work, exceptional.
Previously released tracks include “adore u” featuring Obongjayar, “ten” with Jozzy and Jim Legxacy, and the standout track “places to be” featuring Anderson .Paak and CHIKA. While these tracks are impressive, the new additions are equally captivating. “peace u need” with Joy Anonymous offers a piano-laden farewell to a lover, irresistibly danceable. “where will i be” features Emmylou Harris’ folk-influenced vocals over a mellow, dreamy production that feels like floating. “fear less” is an uplifting track where Sampha’s vocals will leave you breathless, and one of the most profound pieces, “glow,” showcases Fred again..’s exceptional production skills alongside talents like Duskus, Skrillex, Four Tet, and Joy Anonymous.
Expertly structured and perfectly spaced, ten days is a musical journey worth experiencing. Each track is preceded by an intro or interlude, denoting the day it represents, showcasing the thoughtfulness behind this project and highlighting Fred again..’s prolific artistry. We’re fortunate to experience his talent during this era.
