“Adore U” by Fred Again and Obongjayar

"Adore U" pairs British producer Fred Again, born Fred Gibson, with Obongjayar, the London-based Nigerian singer, and it arrived on August 11, 2023, through Warner Music UK and Atlantic as the first taste of Gibson's fourth studio album, Ten Days. He had already tried it out during his Glastonbury set that June, and a week before release the pair teased it with a clip of Gibson on keyboard backing Obongjayar's vocal, a moment Gibson said felt magical. They played it at Lollapalooza in Chicago that same week.

The song is dedicated to Gibson's sister, and it's built around a sample of "I Wish It Was Me" from Obongjayar's 2022 debut album, Some Nights I Dream of Doors. His voice shivers over house music that swells brighter and more blissful as it goes, until a hip-hop sample muscles in without killing the glow.
