I realize that I'm a little late with this one but better late than never. One of my FAVORITE UK imports, Frankmusik, is back with a new single and album and I cannot effing wait! The 25-year old Vincent Frank's (AKA Frankmusik) last record, Complete Me is one of my favorite albums of the last few years. Frankmusik is one of many new talents to be nabbed by Interscope Records imprint Cherrytree Records. Other recent Cherrytree additions include the fabulous Ellie Goulding and of course, the super fab Natalia Kills (check out my interview with her HERE), whom Frank has reportedly done a duet with for his record. Complete Me was just full of so many hits I don't know where it went wrong over in the UK. While the album did modestly well, peaking at #13 on the charts, the singles were not so successful. "Better Off As Two" peaked at #26 while follow up single "Confusion Girl" peaked at #27 while "Time Will Tell" only managed to crawl in at #173. An all acoustic re-release of the album followed later in 2009 but no more singles were released. Time to start work on new material!
"The Fear Inside" is the first evidence of new Frankmusik material and BOY was it worth the wait. "The Fear Inside" is the first single to be lifted off his sophomore record, Follow The Leader and it's brilliant in every way. While not too different from previous releases, it doesn't really need to be. With Cherrytree behind him and given the fact that he's virtually an unknown here in the States, pop music lovers everywhere are going to hear this track and they are going to love this track. Arjan (from ArjanWrites.com) describes the song PERFECTLY, praising it for it's "Massive chorus, instantly hooky bassline and a tight, top-of-the-line production." He goes on to call it "Slick!" and "a fantastic introduction to all of the new Frankmusik hotness that is about to be unleashed upon the pop world."
Indeed. Look out for an accompanying video and U.S. tour coming soon. Listen to the new song below (via ArjanWrites).
