Fred again.. and Obongjayar release new collaboration, 'adore u'

Electronic songwriter and producer Fred Again.. and musician Obongjayar have teamed up for a new single 'adore u'.

Alongside the song's announcement, Fred Again.. shared his excitement for the release in an emphatic Instagram post. He also seemed to tease more music ahead, music different from what he'd released in the past.

"This is the first song of a whole new world to me," he wrote, "One that I cant wait to show you more of. Very very much. Actually VERY much. Very FUCKING much. Oo that one was weird."

He then disclosed that the song is a tribute to their respective younger siblings. "OB made this song for his lil brother. I made it for my lil sister without knowing this. So to me its for siblings, in any way that manifests."

Fred Again had nothing but praise for Obongjayar, describing his voice as "delicately beautiful". He also shared a text conversation he had with the artist in which he described the song to be "like a hug," admitting in the caption his nervousness to share the song with Obongjayar as the collaboration took shape.
