The xx’s Romy Teams Up With Fred again.. for Sublime Single, “Strong”
If music is anything, it’s therapy. Just ask Romy of The xx, whose haunting new single, “Strong,” is a soul-stirring ode to resiliency.

There was more heat than just that of the sizzling waffle irons emitting from the food truck outside Terminal 5 over the weekend.

Why Fred again.. Is Exactly What Electronic Dance Music Needed
Fred again.. is inescapable these days. But unlike other names hyped ad nauseam into oblivion this year, his is one you’d be smart to emotionally invest in. For some reason, musicians are still expected to masquerade as doppelgängers of themselves—cringey caricatures sharing manufactured moments through the vacuous engines of TikTok. Content culture is the music industry’s newest and most vicious plague, and it corrodes the mental health of its most authentic artists. But as social media continues to dig its crooked claws into the sincerity of musicians, Fred again.. is fracturing its nefarious nature by being his most genuine self.

Fred again.. Sees the Silver Lining With New “Actual Life 3” Single, “Bleu (better with time)”
Stepping into a critical career juncture, Fred again.. is telegraphing better days ahead with his new single, “Bleu (better with time).” True to the producer’s underground house flair that has taken the electronic music community by storm, the track excels in sparking a groove with straightforward, catchy and melodic production.
