The multi-award-winning, internationally acclaimed artist, producer, songwriter and musician Fraser T Smith returns under his Future Utopia alias to release his latest collaborative single with DJ Seinfeld, Never Gonna Get It.
Written in the depths of lock down with lyrics fuelled by his time spent scrolling through poetry books in isolation, Future Utopia is back following his previous summer single, Love Is All There Is, with new release Never Gonna Get It. Inspired by UK garage and house, today’s release see’s Future Utopia link with up with the celebrated Swedish electronic artist DJ Seinfeld who recently released his new album Mirrors (Ninja Tune) which received high praise from Resident Advisor, Pitchfork, Loud and Quiet, CLASH Music and more.
Never Gonna Get It sits perfectly for the end of Summer and has been played out by Future Utopia and his peers at recent gigs to a warm reception from his audiences.
“I’ve been a huge fan of DJ Seinfeld for a long time, and I asked him to remix ‘Do We Really Care?’ for me on the ‘12 Questions After Dark’ album. I wrote the hook for ‘Never Gonna Get It’ during a period of covid isolation and I asked my friend Molly J to sing it. I then wanted to work on the production with Seinfeld as I knew our joint love of dark garage would lead to something very special. I’ve been playing this throughout my summer shows, and it’s been going down brilliantly” – Future Utopia
“Super happy to have had the honour of working with Fraser on this track. A total master and a true gentleman ❤️” – DJ Seinfeld
