Fraser T Smith is gearing up for the release of his forthcoming project under the moniker Future Utopia. 12 Questions, his forthcoming project under the name, is set to drop in October. He's unveiled single after single since the middle of August. For anyone who has been waiting on new music from Dave, Fraser T Smith's latest single, "Children Of The Internet" offers a brand new verse from the UK rapper. Minimalist electronic production backs him as Dave addresses current issues facing the youth from overexposure to social media to being surveilled through technology.

Dave hasn't released a whole lot of music since dropping his debut album PSYCHODRAMA in 2019, though he did contribute to the Top Boy soundtrack as well as appear on the show.

Check out the single below.

Quotable Lyrics
Could you argue that it's borderline dangerous to take a picture of a girl's face and start changin’ it?
With one quick filter, your nose looks thinner
Your eyes look fuller
Your lips look bigger
Your software's better and your phone knows everything
If anything, it's getting George Orwell-ian
