Super producer Fraser T Smith‘s collaboration with Dave on his forthcoming 12 Questions album has been unveiled.
Smith is due to release the record under the banner Future Utopia on October 23rd, and as well as the 2019 Mercury Prize winner has it packed full of special guests such as Stormzy, Arlo Parks, Dan Smith and Kano. “Dave always comes with the best song titles,” he says of Children Of The Internet.
“We chatted about it in the studio, and I said, ‘That’s great that you can write this from the perspective of being a child of the internet’. He looked at me and said, ‘I’m not a child of the internet. That happened when the Xbox One came out – that’s when you didn’t have to be in the same room as the person you were playing against. That’s when we started losing eye contact and human interaction’.”
“I watched Es Devlin’s brilliant TED talk about division, and slowly the idea of asking Es the question ‘Why Are We So Divided When We’re So Connected?’ came to light. Children Of The Internet is the answer.”
