The summer of Fred again.. is heating up! The groundbreaking artist has teamed up with hip-hop heavyweights Anderson .Paak and CHIKA for his latest single “places to be” – and it’s an absolute heater.
Released today, “places to be” marks Fred’s debut collaboration with multi-Grammy winner Anderson .Paak. The rapper/singer/multi-instrumentalist lends his signature smooth vocals and rhymes over Fred’s euphoric, uptempo production.
Joining them is fast-rising Alabama rapper CHIKA, who’s been earning massive acclaim since dropping her debut album Samson: The Album last year. Her rapid-fire, high-energy bars provide the perfect counter-balance to .Paak’s laidback flow.
“places to be” is the latest single off what’s shaping up to be an endless stream of new music from the prolific Fred again..
Fred again.. latest release
The track follows recent collaborations like “adore u” with Obongjayar and “ten” with Jozzy and Jim Legxacy. It also arrives on the heels of USB001, the first installment of Fred’s ambitious “endless album” project available now on limited edition 2xLP.
The star-studded new single is impeccable timing from Fred again.., as he prepares for a massive run of summer shows and festival plays. He’s already hit the road hard in 2024, playing sold-out concerts and pop-up shows across Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, and the United States.
Upcoming shows from Fed
Next up, Fred has a huge three-night run at Stanford’s Frost Amphitheater in early June. But possibly his biggest performance is this Saturday, May 27th, when he’ll join forces with Skrillex for a hugely anticipated b2b rave set at San Francisco’s Civic Center Plaza.
With “places to be” providing a scorching new anthem, coupled with Fred’s endless well of new music and one-of-a-kind live performances, this summer is shaping up to be an absolute triumph for the innovative artist.
