Frankmusik


Sorry that it's been a couple of weeks, I've been super busy getting ready for my brother's wedding which happened this past weekend in Las Vegas. Was a super experience for the whole family.

But, I digress. I'd like to sit and share some music from one of my favorite underground pop artists out there. And yes, your eyes do not deceive, I said POP music. It's a genre that I generally try to stay away from, but good music is good music.

If you haven't already heard of Frankmusik over the past year or so, you definitely will over the next. His full length debut album "Complete Me" is supposed to be dropping next month in July, and if the blog buzz over the past few months will be of any indication of success he should do very well for himself.

Last year he was on the road opening for Sam Sparro, and is apparently on the docket to play with The Pet Shop Boys at their concerts in Manchester and London this year.

He's definitely of the calibre to grace the stage with the acts that he's playing with, that's no question. I only hope that his soon to be fame doesn't dilute the quality of work that he's been putting out with his singles. Many of which have proven to be treasure troves for the remix crowd, which of course is how I found him...haha

I'm actually going to share a few of my favorites:

Slow paced melodic guitar and synth goodness that makes you want to get lost with an ocean view in an 80's movie.

Without question one of the best covers I've ever heard of the Police. Simply amazing vocal styling which give a classic a whole new groove.

This is the one that did it for me, huge bass drops and sharp percussion bring out the best of a catchy infectious vocal.

And nothing against the other three but I'm saving my favorite for last. Math Head from over at Brooklyn's own Trouble & Bass crew just destroy's this one. Math Head's signature Heavy Bass/Darkwave style contrasting the airy vocals make this a peak time monster meant for the dance floor. It's an underrated gem!!
