Fred again.. teams up with Obongjayar on new single "adore u"

Fresh from making a headline-grabbing Glastonbury debut on the Other Stage and seeing his critically acclaimed album, Actual Life 3 recently shortlisted for the 2023 Mercury Prize, Fred again.. has teamed up with Obongjayar on new single, "adore u".

"adore u" is a track dedicated to Fred’s sister that samples heartfelt lyrics lifted from Obongjayar’s 2022 debut album, Some Nights I Dream Of Doors.

Performed live by Fred and Obongjayar for the first time in Chicago last weekend, "adore u" is released ahead of Fred’s unprecedented sold out four-date run at London’s Alexandra Palace.

Following the release of Actual Life 3, 2023 has seen Fred take his career to new heights. After playing a series of pop-up shows in London alongside Skrillex and Four Tet in January, the trio then went onto sell-out the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York in February.

Fred also recorded a special Tiny Desk Concert for NPR in April, which saw him relearn the marimba, play a vibraphone, sit at a piano and loop beats on his laptop simultaneously. Following this, he joined forces with Brian Eno on ‘Secret Life’ – a surprise-drop 13 track ambient album released on Four Tet’s Text Records imprint.
