The fast-rising producer and DJ played a live set to a small audience inside the pub in a private event yesterday (July 12) – specific details about this event, however, have not been revealed by either Fred Again.. or the pub, who only shared on Instagram Stories that it was “closed for a private event” on Friday.

However, he did share on Instagram Stories today (July 13) about his time at the pub, where he was filmed performing with The Japanese House’s Amber Bain her 2023 song ‘Sunshine Baby’ – here, its languid indie rock instrumentation was substituted by Fred Again..’s lone lush keyboards. “Amber’s voice is so magical I couldn’t stop smiling,” he wrote in an Instagram Story.

The set also comprised solo material by Fred Again.., who last sprang a surprise set onto Glastonbury 2024 festivalgoers weeks ago where he debuted new material.

The producer will be performing at the forthcoming Reading & Leeds 2024 festival this August, in a headlining slot alongside Lana Del Rey, Liam Gallagher, Catfish And The Bottlemen, Blink-182 and Gerry Cinnamon. Meanwhile, The Japanese House recently shared a country-inspired new single ‘:)’ (pronounced ‘Smiley Face’), described in a press release as an “ode to happiness”.

Last month, Fred Again.. performed his first headline stadium show in the US, during which he briefly stopped his performance to chase fans off the stage.

NME gave his Brian Eno collaborative album ‘Secret Life’ three stars, saying: “Released just a few weeks after Fred closed Coachella with a set of thunderous dance and techno alongside Four Tet and Skrillex, ‘Secret Life’ sees him handbrake turn once again into ambient haze, assisted by the man who made it all happen for him. This surprise album – despite its frequent beauty – works best as a puzzle piece rather than a standout record in its own right.”

Last month, American rapper and actor LL Cool J shocked the music world by announcing that his first album in eleven years, The FORCE (Frequencies Of Real Creative Energy), will be released later this year.

The announcement was accompanied by the first single – the first song with LL Cool J as the lead artist, Saturday Night Single, starring special guests Rick Ross and Fat Joe and production by A Tribe Called Quest’s Q-Tip. At the time of that release (14 June), LL Cool J teased that the song was “just the beginning.”

He added, “There’s a lot more where this came from, and I’m hype for y’all to hear this new record. We’re doing this for the fans and for Hip-Hop culture.”

It turns out that LL Cool J certainly had a lot more up his sleeve. Yesterday (12 July), he announced the release date for The FORCE and its stacked guestlist on social media. The follow-up to 2013’s Authentic will be released via Def Jam Recordings/Virgin Music Group on Friday, 6 September.

Featuring 14 tracks, LL Cool J’s latest will star special guests, including Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Nas, Saweetie, and more. You can check out the tracklist below.

In addition to sharing the tracklist and release date (and pre-order/pre-save link), LL Cool J dropped the second single from The FORCE, Passion. Below, you can find the music video.

In a new interview with The Associated Press, LL Cool J revealed that he had to learn “how to rap again” for his first album in eleven years.

He said of the process of recording the LP: “[I was] going back to the drawing board and learning how to rap again… making sure I was really inspired by the things I was saying. That’s why there isn’t a lot of fluff on this album.”

You can pre-order physical copies of the album here or pre-save it to the streaming service of your choice here.
