Fred again.. announces new album 'Actual Life 3’, shares single: Listen

Fred again.. is completing his ‘Actual Life’ album trilogy this December. Lead track ‘Danielle (smile on my face)’ is out now, and you can listen to it below.

On ‘Actual Life 3 (January 1 – September 9 2022)’, out 8th December via Atlantic Records, Fred again.. samples clips from his friends’ voice notes, Instagram scrolling and key personal records across the album’s 13 tracks. The London producer’s latest single, ‘Danielle (smile on my face)’ samples the acapella version of 070 Shake’s ‘Nice To Have’. 

To celebrate the LP’s release, Fred again.. will be performing at the O2 Academy Brixton on 8th December. 

Last month, Fred again.. released his collaboration with Swedish House Mafia called ‘Turn On The Lights again..’, which led to him delaying the announcement of ‘Actual Life 3’. Back in February, he teamed up with I. JORDAN on the ‘Admit It (U Don’t Want 2)’ single.

In August last year, Bethan Harper interviewed Fred again.. for DJ Mag’s Get To Know series. They talked about his ‘Actual Life’ trilogy, his mentor Brian Eno, collaborations and more — read that here.

Watch the visualiser for ‘Danielle (smile on my face)’.
