A dream collaboration has taken shape in "places to be," a new single released by Fred again.. and Anderson .Paak.

A masterclass in dissonance, the track is a meeting of the minds that feels like watching a wave crash perfectly—unexpected, yet undeniably cool.

Alabama rapper CHIKA features on "places to be," wherein Fred lays down a foundation of frenetic breakbeats underneath sultry lounge synths. This frantic energy collides head-on with the velveteen vibes of Paak's smooth delivery, creating a compelling contrast.

A commentary on the seductive power of distraction, his vocals crackle with bravado at times but hang 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 effort is as masterful as ever.

In other Fred again.. news, the British superstar recently performed a surprise set at EDC Las Vegas, one of the world's largest and most popular electronic dance music festivals. He's also stayed busy in the studio, releasing "stayinit," a collaboration with Lil Yachty and Overmono; and "BerwynGesaffNeighbours," an official rework of Gesaffelstein's "Destinations."
