A dream collaboration has taken shape in “places to be”, a new single released again by Fred… and Anderson .Paak.
A masterclass in dissonance, the track is a meeting of minds that feels like watching a wave crash perfectly: unexpected, but undeniably cool.
Alabama rapper CHIKA appears on “places to be,” where Fred lays a foundation of frenetic beats beneath sultry lounge synths. This frenetic energy collides head-on with the velvety vibes of Paak's smooth performance, creating a compelling contrast.
A commentary on the seductive power of distraction, her voice crackles bravely at times but hangs heavy in the air at others. Paak has always been a master at exploring the depths of conflicting emotions with his lyrics, and his latest work is as masterful as ever.
In other Fred news again, the British superstar recently performed a surprise set at EDC Las Vegas, one of the largest and most popular electronic dance music festivals in the world. She also stayed busy in the studio, releasing “stayinit,” a collaboration with Lil Yachty and Overmono; and “BerwynGesaffNeighbours”, an official reworking of Gesaffelstein's “Destinations”.
