Review

"Actual Life (April 14 - December 17 2020)" by Fred again.. is a total game-changer, weaving snippets of real-life convos, social media clips, and personal experiences into something extraordinary. Dropped in 2021, it's a testament to Fred's wizardry in turning the mundane into magic. 17 tracks deep, this album captures the raw whirlwind of pandemic life, from the crushing lows of loss to the euphoric highs of newfound love.

The production? Flawless, man. Each track is meticulously crafted to punch you right in the feels. Take "Big Hen (Steal My Joy)" for instance – pure bliss. Then there's "Me (Heavy)" – it's like the musical embodiment of vulnerability. What really sets this album apart is its genius use of field recordings; the voice notes and raw snippets of conversations make it feel like you're eavesdropping on Fred's actual life. This clever touch builds an intimate vibe that's hard to beat.

Critics? They’re eating it up. The album's bagged spots in all the major "best of the year" lists, including Double J's top 50. No surprise, considering its innovative flair and punch-you-in-the-gut emotional depth.

Bottom line: if you want an album that speaks to the collective rollercoaster we've been on during the pandemic, "Actual Life" is it. Fred again.. has crafted a masterpiece that'll leave its mark for years to come. - Chase
