Saxophonist Chopper Reeds expressed excitement about the new album, stating, “SLO MO is the strongest studio representation yet of a Freddy’s live show. It captures the undefinable Freddy’s sound. Usually we take the stage to the studio, and this time, we’re excited about taking our studio creation onto the stage.”
The first single from the album, Next Stop, is already making waves, described as a soul-soaked summer scorcher featuring toastmaster MC Slave on the mic.
Fat Freddy’s Drop has released several albums that have achieved commercial success, including their debut album Based on a True Story (2003), which was certified gold in New Zealand and reached number one on the New Zealand charts. Their follow-up album, Dr. Boondigga and the Big BW (2009), also topped the charts.
