Fred Again.. has released another Stutter House banger, “Solo,” featuring the vocalist Blanco. Fred is incredibly good at making drums, but something people don’t mention as often is how strong his vocal chops are too.

On a track like this, listeners might not think of the vocals as sampled, because the phrases sound more like someone actually recorded them rather than a typical sample track. But if you think about it, all the vocal phrases are repeated, probably because Fred recorded Blanco and then sampled his voice. This really shows how versatile vocals can be. You can start with a simple vocal melody and turn it into whatever you want. Another cool thing about Fred’s style of vocal sampling is that he is essentially “playing” the vocals on his sample pad, giving him full control over how the vocalist is ultimately presented.

Matt Cardle has released his new single Drinking Dreams, a chilled and atmospheric track that showcases the four-octave vocal range that first made him one of Britain’s most talked-about voices during his rise on The X Factor UK in 2010.
