Here is my second interview with music heavyweight Fraser T Smith. Future Utopia is about to drop their latest album on July 12th, which is so highly anticipated following the release of 'Looking For A Way Out (Of Del Rio)' and 'Interplanetary Signs'. This is such a genius reinvention for the band which stays so true to their core and authentic family dynamic style. Everybody is a star in Future Utopia, everyone has their moment to shine. I love the Future Utopia family, There is such a sense of community and belonging, and you can really feel this vibe not only through live performance and studio albums, but also their social media presence. The album itself is high art, which see's Fraser drawing inspiration from classic Hollywood Westerns, in terms of storytelling and soundscapes. Our first interview focussed on the building and journey so far of Future Utopia; this one deals with the creative and artistic thinking behind the album, really analysing the approaches Fraser has taken to grow and develop as an artist. It was so great to talk once again. The thumbnail for our interview draws inspiration from the 'After Dark' Remix of 'Interplanetary Signs' thumbnail, created by Ori Toor. Future Utopia is also currently running a remix competition which you can find out more about in their bio!
