In Everything I Feel

Fred Again… featuring Duoteque and Orion Sun “ItsNotREEAALLLLLLLL”

“ItsNotREEAALLLLLLLL” is built around a sample of Orion Sun’s “Mirage,” a little sketch of a song from the singer’s 2020 record. That recording is loose and tentative, like a quick demo that stuck in its abbreviated and minimal form because the woozy, elliptical nature was exactly right for the lyrical sentiment about dissociation. Fred Again takes that vocal and lyrical idea and pushes into a more nightmarish direction, resulting in the EDM equivalent of a A24 horror movie. The music feels like it’s stalking her, her voice sounds warped and inhuman. It’s a sick paranoid vibe, but it goes hard enough that it works as dynamic dance music.
