The current hottest artist Fred Again..

And the hottest artist right now is Fred Again…, the producer of Romy’s album due in September. You can check his work on the previously released singles “Lifetime” and “Strong.”

Fred Again.. started his career as an assistant for Brian Eno and gained attention when he succeeded in producing for George Ezra and Rita Ora. I came across his name through the single “Lights Out” featuring Romy and HAAi. I immediately checked out his album “Actual Life 2”.

The album is a concept album based on his diary life and the music he listened to during the pandemic. One of the songs was “Your Loving Arms,” a hit by Electribe 101’s singer Billie Ray Martin, formerly titled “Billie. The album is his unique pop music based on dance beats, but it’s well crafted. Like “Billie,” it has a 1990s flavor throughout. He approaches dance from the pop field with his musical background that caught Brian Eno’s eye. This video must be enough to prove that.

Last February, Fred Again.., Four Tet, and Skrillex sold out Madison Square Garden in New York City. This party represented how the current scene is fun and works.

Several videos posted on Youtube captured the back-to-back set mixed with underground, pop, and top and the outrageous frenzy vibe at the venue. Fred Again.. is currently on a world tour, including four sold-out shows at London’s 10,000-capacity Alexandra Palace.
