Future Utopia - Being Human. On Translucent Blue Vinyl and CD. To Be released 23rd October.
Future Utopia is the brainchild of world-renowned artist, producer, songwriter, Grammy and Ivor Novello award winning, Fraser T. Smith (Adele, Dave, Stormzy etc.).
“Sonically, I’ve been going back in time, remembering what connected me to music as a kid. The rawness of certain vocals, the authenticity and honesty of the playing.. the freeness and lack of editing and conformity. It’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot across the album. Not being trapped in the past, and embracing the future, but also learning lessons from timeless music, that still resonates today.”
A sum greater than its individual parts, Being Human is a nine-track soundscape exploring what it means to be human in a world increasingly shaped by and reliant on technology.
Recorded at Fraser’s Utopia Studios in Oxfordshire, the album is a psychedelic trip realising the strength in human connection.
Utilising a cast of live musicians sat atop electronic textures, the record blends hypnotic guitars, mesmerising synths and spacey beats.
An album that Fraser had to make, the record leans into human connection and features collaborations with an array of talented artists including Sergio Pizzorno (Kasabian) who he co-wrote “We Could Be Higher” and sought after artist Davide Rossi, who arranged strings on “Being Human” as well as features from Alysia Harris, Yomi Sode, Niels Brandt (Minds of 99), Tim Gent and Darren King (Mutemath, Ritual Breaks)
