Vincent Did It
Vincent Did It. Vincent did what?, Well, Vincent did Frankmusik for a while, now he’s doing this thing that sounds like Frankmusik but isn’t. (Hopefully this means a move away from the Cherrytree bland factory)
Here’s the video for the new single, ‘So You’re Alive’, and it;’s pretty damn catchy.

Stream Erasure’s new single
Here’s your first taste of what to expect from the eagerly awaited new Erasure album. eagerly awaited not only because it is Vince and Andy’s first studio album since 2007 but also because it has been co-produced by contemporary SynthPop marmite Frankmusik.
The track is ‘When I Start To Break Down’, to be the new single, and bodes very well for the album. There’s a certain epicness to the track that you can see coming both from Andy’s solo work and, more definitely, from Frankmusik. It’s got that heartfelt, with a hint of majestic, melodic quality that Frankmusik used to be so good at before he tried to become an AutoTuned American Hip-Pop nightmare (come home Vince!). The song though, is very much an Erasure track though, but Andy’s Vocals and Vince’s writing shine through and gives up high hopes for the new record. The track also shows what a talent Frankmusik still is, he’s just fallen in with a bad musical crowd or something.

Frankmusik reMixed by MNEK
Frankmusik and Far East Movement’s ‘Do It In The AM’ isn’t my favourite of Vincent’s tracks but it has really grown on me.
Throw in this big warp bass Electro-House mix from UK producer MNEK, premiered last week on Annie Mac’s show, that does some really interesting things with the original. Upping the grit on the track, MNEK drop a tight party-starting groove that is not only in your face, but leaves a surprising amount of the original arrangement intact (and you know I love it when reMixes do that!).

Frankmusik’s ‘Do It In The AM’ video
Here is the long-teased video for Frankmusik’s forthcoming single featuring Far East Movement.
‘Do It In The AM’ isn’t Frankmusik’s best song ever, but it is a cool summery Pop tune that could be his real breakthrough track, and the video show how Vince is living it up LA style these days.
‘Do It In The AM’ is released 18th July.

Frankmusik’s ‘The Fear Inside’ video
Frankmusik premiered the video for his forthcoming new single ‘The Fear Inside’ today. It’s a grainy, black & white, affair that sees Vincent Frank heading, well, somewhere, hot chick in tow. The silhouette shots in front the giant warehouse window are well 80’s!
Still lovin’ the sounds in this track!

‘The Fear Inside’ – Brand new Frankmusik
OK, hands up, who was a little nervous about Frankmusik’s new material.
Yeah…me too.
This could have so easily been a generic rehash of one of his previous songs, a sloppy sticking to a style that has since been copied numerous times. But have no fear, ‘The Fear Inside, as débuted last night on Cherrytree Radio sounds a fresh as anything you will hear this year. Taking his trademark sound, Vincent Frank seems to have beefed things up a little. Co-written by Cherrytree’s Martin Kierszenbaum, the track has got a big old school Electro vibe going on under the Pop track that lends a kinda’ hardness to the ElectroPop.
