Although Fred Gibson’s whirlwind rise to fame has largely occurred over the last two years, his talents were championed throughout the 2010s by the cream of the industry: Brian Eno, Stormzy, Ed Sheeran, Eminem, Headie One, Rita Ora… a list as measureless as it is manifold. After being dubbed Producer of the Year at the Brit Awards in 2020, Gibson began work on the Actual Life project — his début solo venture — the first instalment of which would be released the following year, under the Fred again.. moniker. To borrow the words of good friend Marea Stamper, what came next was indeed ‘marvelous’: a string of wildly successful live shows the world over, a sophomore album, collaborations with such superstars as Swedish House Mafia, Skrillex and Four Tet—and one particularly iconic set from a recent Boiler Room party in London. The music conceived over this period forms the basis for Actual Life 3 – a celebration of freedom, and emancipation from the collective trauma of these past years.
There’s always an inherent familiarity in his selection of source material: voice memos recorded on prolonged train journeys and aimless coffee mornings in North West London; tender outpourings from acapella singers and spoken word poets ripped off the internet. Amid a collage of vague-yet-hopeful musings about life, love and loss is an arresting human quality — one which confronts a myriad of complex emotions all at once, and whose essence extends far beyond its creator. It’s this universal approach which seems to inspire adoration among fans, all of whom can find a piece of themselves within his productions. Where other similar artists submit to pastiche, Fred’s music displays genuine emotional commitment, dissolving any hint of cliché sometimes associated with this sort of creative process. A songwriter’s spirit lies at the heart of every track, but poppy tendencies are enriched by a web of genre-spanning influences and intricate, club-ready production fresh from the underground. It’s enough to make a believer out of the most fervent skeptics (if ever there were any). © Finn Kverndal/Qobuz
