[Sagar Deshmukh](https://www.ticketfairy.com/es/word/author/sagar0204.md) 5 julio 2024 · 6 min de lectura ***The album arrives three years after Fred V’s critically acclaimed debut long player ‘Radiate’ and takes his penchant for immersive drum & bass music to a whole new level.*** There’s a well-known saying in sports where fans attribute their favorite players with the ability to bring joy to the people, and the same sentiment can be applied to Fred V in a drum & bass context. For over a decade, Fred V has dazzled us with his euphoric style of music that has the ability to transport you into a different dimension. Starting solo, then forming his trailblazing duo with Grafix, delivering three seminal albums, and bringing the project to a cinematic end with ‘Cinematic Party Music.’ Then, going solo again in 2018, and continuing the same level of quality ever since, Fred’s been busy; but that hasn’t affected the quality of music he has been putting out for the past six years. First came the singles, showcasing Fred V’s unique interpretation of liquid drum & bass which saw his signature vocal hooks and acoustic riffs venture into a more playful realm. The champion DJ and producer followed up on his rich vein of production quality with his debut album ‘Radiate’ in 2021. Collaborations being at the heart of the album, Fred V paved himself a unique musical identity through the ethereal soundscapes and melancholic climates that made ‘Radiate’ one of the best drum & bass albums made in recent years. The good news is that Fred V has once again recreated the spellbinding magic of his solo first album, and now, three years after it was released, we have Fred’s second masterpiece to immerse ourselves in. The events started towards the end of last year when Fred V embarked on a series of releases that had a striking resemblance to their artwork. The wait was ultimately cut short early this year when Hospital Records announced that ‘Luminous’ was indeed on its way.

Fred V skillfully manipulates the sample, adding a dynamic pitch shift and incorporating his signature delightful synths, to make the record a vibrant and playful offering. [Spotify Embed: Take You There](https://open.spotify.com/embed/track/6sAO34NnYHNon3gtWO5MWb?si=47203aa4eb614767&utm_source=oembed) The title track ‘Luminous’ beckons us next; it tells us why Fred V’s music has the ability to put a smile on people’s faces. Setting off with the gleaming that dances alongside the water splash-like samples, the sparkling synths eventually take charge to leave us wondering why isn’t this song about 10 minutes long? [Spotify Embed: Luminous](https://open.spotify.com/embed/track/0jCjSYp5bLwF8jf14JPnjR?si=edfde09b834d471f&utm_source=oembed) Fred V and Lottie Jones worked on two songs together when he released ‘Radiate.’ That was the moment we knew this was a special partnership. The result has been Lottie Jones being a part of a quarter of ‘Luminous.’ The first one being her vocal sample on the title track, which is followed by their first official collaboration on the album, which also includes Richter. The combination of piano chords, Lottie’s melancholic vocals, and Richter’s harmonies build up to an electrifying climax that Fred V creates, making it nearly impossible to resist the urge to hit the dancefloor. [Spotify Embed: Games](https://open.spotify.com/embed/track/5LT5jLbS19rUQpag4Exh0g?si=197bddf1683c49d5&utm_source=oembed) After collaborating with Tudor on his track with Hybrid Minds, Fred V enlisted him for his album, resulting in what we believe is one of the standout tunes on the record. Once again, the song is filled with a vibrant energy that will capture you from start to finish. And just when you think it can’t get any better, prepare to be blown away by the electrifying guitar riffs in the breakdown. Magical. [Spotify Embed: Dive](https://open.spotify.com/embed/track/0ExCn5OrDRP2dKRBt4ejHZ?si=40c1a65fe51f49c4&utm_source=oembed) American singer-songwriter Laura Brehm joins Fred V on ‘Luminous’ with ‘What I’m Hoping For.’ Her angelic voice, which is accompanied by heartwarming bass and delicate guitar-synth plucks that roll ever so smoothly over the rolling drums, Fred seamlessly transitions us into the second half of the album. [Spotify Embed: What I'm Hoping For](https://open.spotify.com/embed/track/1qicL7oe9bLRFHshjP5GXP?si=f45704a84ae94900&utm_source=oembed) As we head into the next half of the album, Fred V ensures we get a taste of his musical influences in a truly immersive style; and it begins with the power-charged syncopations of ‘Take Over’ featuring Dan Dakota. Watery textures with strokes of melancholy – all animated by dynamic, adeptly arranged drum patterns and vocals, Fred V paints us a picture of dreamlike ambience brushed with Dan’s sprinkle of infectious dancefloor energy. [Spotify Embed: Take Over](https://open.spotify.com/embed/track/4zlWSvYfFbETjGzSfzHO0l?si=626fc397830247a8&utm_source=oembed) ‘Metronome’ is a song that exudes an infectious energy, making it perfect for belting out on top of your voice in the middle of a festival; and that’s the vibe of the tune. Injecting a touch of groove into the album, Fred V seamlessly combines the energy of his early productions with the polished dancefloor sound of his latest work. [Spotify Embed: Metronome](https://open.spotify.com/embed/track/0ivZJzx5SibuiWLTgZvEy8?si=2316a203d0434421&utm_source=oembed) The festival may have come to an end with ‘Metronome,’ but Fred V wastes no time in taking us straight into the after party with ‘Polsloe Bridge.’ This tune features a rippling bassline, crispy drums, and glitchy synth melodies, and serves as the ideal conclusion to a night, shining bright like the morning star and absorbing your imagination with its magic. [Spotify Embed: Polsloe Bridge](https://open.spotify.com/embed/track/4PiE5THWgqI9EzyZldHaJ8?si=29db2556146b4f9c&utm_source=oembed) Lottie Jones makes a return to ‘Luminous’ with her soul-melting voice on two tunes – the first one – ‘[Restless](https://open.spotify.com/track/02qlDxPO1ZNt5kjbreh2Z6?si=27cdb3c4f51644d9)‘ sends us into an emotional rollercoaster with her thoughtful poetry that proves to be the perfect match to the glistening drums and melodies. Picking us back from the ride, Fred V and Lottie Jones deliver arguably the biggest tune of the album featuring Hybrid Minds. Incredibly hard to capture it in words; just tune in and feel the magic. [Spotify Embed: Faded Blue](https://open.spotify.com/embed/track/61oXJFB77jocUsxj4FGT2T?si=b1da13dca2144925&utm_source=oembed) Heading towards the conclusion of the album, Fred V collaborates with his close friend Etherwood, as well as FJ Law and ALLKNIGHT to take us on a nostalgic penultimate ride that is brimming with enticing synths and intimate guitar plunks that intertwine with the smoothly rolling, warm, piano-driven drop of the record. [Spotify Embed: Subliminal](https://open.spotify.com/embed/track/2lR7xa4aYlTtYbx8MhIeav?si=69d4fcc1e8ca4d41&utm_source=oembed) Bring yet another masterpiece to a close, Fred V rolls back the days with ‘Divinity’ – a track that transports us back to the time when Fred V was making waves in the drum & bass scene with hits like ‘Major Happy.’ [Spotify Embed: Divinity](https://open.spotify.com/embed/track/1jiaUummsIYkHwvo3sGzRQ?si=8ef30c22f16f4002&utm_source=oembed) Despite being Fred V’s second solo album, it is evident from the album’s seamless flow that he has honed his craft over his impressive 15-year career, which includes four previous albums. Guiding us on a rollercoaster of emotions, Fred V has truly perfected the craft of drum & bass storytelling with an album that will stand the test of time. **Fred V – Luminous is out on all platforms via Hospital Records.** **You May Also Like:** [EIJER Makes His Debut on Metalheadz With the ‘Expansion’ EP](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2024/06/27/eijer-makes-his-debut-on-metalheadz-with-the-expansion-ep) [TFword in Conversation With DJ Xylo](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2024/06/07/tfword-in-conversation-with-dj-xylo) [TroyBoi Explores His House Music Side with the ‘4 On Da Floor’ EP](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2024/07/01/troy-boi-explores-his-housier-side-with-the-4-on-da-floor-ep) Compartir [X](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketfairy.com%2Fes%2Fword%2F2024%2F07%2F05%2Ffred-v-shines-through-with-his-second-studio-album-luminous.md&text=Fred+V+Shines+Through+With+His+Second+Studio+Album+%E2%80%98Luminous%E2%80%99) [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketfairy.com%2Fes%2Fword%2F2024%2F07%2F05%2Ffred-v-shines-through-with-his-second-studio-album-luminous.md) [WhatsApp](https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=Fred+V+Shines+Through+With+His+Second+Studio+Album+%E2%80%98Luminous%E2%80%99+https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketfairy.com%2Fes%2Fword%2F2024%2F07%2F05%2Ffred-v-shines-through-with-his-second-studio-album-luminous.md) ## Sagar Deshmukh Drum & Bass head with a tinge of hip shake for Disco.
