Arlo Parks, Stormzy, Kojey Radical and more to feature on Fraser T Smith's new album
Fraser T Smith has announced his artist project Future Utopia with new album 12 Questions, which will feature collaborations with Arlo Parks, Stormzy, Kojey Radical and many others.
12 Questions will be the debut album under Smith's Future Utopia project, and he's shared two tracks from the LP along with the announcement - "Do We Really Care? Pt. 1", which features Tom Grennan and Tia Carys, and sees Grennan interpolate The Lovin' Spoonful's "Summer in the City", and "Do We Really Care? Pt. 2", a collaboration with Simon Armitage.
Smith's Future Utopia artist project will feature a huge range of collaborators, inclduing Arlo Parks, Stormzy, Kojey Radical, Dave, Easy Life, Idris Elba, Kano, Dan Smith of Bastille, and more.
According to a press release, 12 Questions is based on a series of questions that Smith presents to different collaborators.
He says of the LP, "I made this record not because I could but because I had to - there was no other way to progress. It’s the most ambitious, exciting and terrifying thing I’ve ever done. Creatively, it’s a colourful musical playground - the culmination of everything I’ve learned over my career, from 70’s progressive rock to hip hop. Culturally, it’s a celebration of humanity, whilst shining a light on some of the cruel injustices in the world. I’m so proud and humbled by the hugely diverse group of collaborators who have spoken their truths on the album. I hope the answers will enlighten the listeners and stir debate."
