Sun-drenched sounds reminiscent of spaghetti westerns
Future Utopia is the musical project of Fraser T. Smith, a renowned producer who has previously worked with artists such as Adele, Stormzy, Gorillaz and Sam Smith. He has already taken home many awards for those efforts, including a Grammy Award for his contribution to Adele’s second studio album 21.
During the pandemic, he released his debut album 12 Questions under the name Future Utopia, immediately attracting international attention with it. That was soon followed by the albums We Were We Still Are (2023) and Django's High (2024), containing collaborations with the likes of Kae Tempest and Biig Piig. The latter album – co-produced by Kasabian songwriter and frontman Sergio Pizzorno – is a cinematic collection that expanded Smith’s musical horizons.
After successful shows at Pukkelpop and Lowlands, Future Utopia now comes to AB Club. Smith won’t be alone, coming with a fully-fledged live band consisting of Molly J, Ben Epstein and Anthony Lewis.
I don’t have 12 questions, just one: have you bought your ticket yet?
