Actual Life 4? Fred again.. Teases New Album

The life of Fred again.. becomes less "actual" and more unreal with each dreamlike performance, but it seems we may soon hear the next chapter of his beloved album series, Actual Life.

Its third installment, which Fred dropped in October 2022, ultimately won the 2024 Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic Album. The British electronic music superstar has released other albums, namely 2023's Secret Life, an ambient LP released in collaboration with Brian Eno; and USB, an innovative compilation project he's called "an infinite album" to which he'll continuously add as long as he's making music.

Fred's Actual Life series, however, stands tall as his most prized. He's now teased a new album on social media, leading to swelling speculation among fans that another edition is not only in the works, but complete.

"I think I jus finished an album," he wrote on social media this week.

While he stopped short of confirming whether or not the new collection will join its Actual Life predecessors, the breadcrumbs certainly lead to that end. The selfie in Fred's posts resembles the same photos he incorporated into the artwork of the other three albums, and he installed it as his profile picture across his social media channels. Over on X, he pinned the post to the top of his page.

However, it's important to note that Fred again.. has not formally announced a new Actual Life album at the time of this article's publication. Check out his post below.
