New Music Video: Lines – Franko Fraize (ft. Great Skies)

Taking you back to the days of old school garage raves, Reebok Classics and gold chains, FRANKO FRAIZE reveals the retro visuals to his latest single ‘Lines’, alongside Great Skies via his VEVO channel.

The blurry video captures the bright lights of London’s skylines and the essence of the night life that used to fill the city, while complementing the laid back garage style beat from Great Skies and Franko’s unmistakable vocal.

The track has generated support on BBC Introducing across Kent, Norfolk and Suffolk and Franko has just played a show with UKG legends Oxide & Nuetrino. He will also be performing in Ipswich, Swindon and Norwich at Tropico alongside Ghetts this month.

First broadcast by BBC Introducing in Kent, ‘Lines’ draws on influence from the UK electronic music scene and showcases Frankos’ vocal delivery over a melodic laid back beat from the Great Skies. The lyrics detail the exhilarating feeling of throwing shapes on a night out until everything starts to blur. Known as the “voice for the everyday”, he talks tales of everyday life that resonates across the board. His lyrics and presence are archetypally English and strike a chord with many a listener for their charm and wit.

Last year was phenomenal for the charismatic rapper from Thetford, seeing him support Rudimental and Chase and Status as well as completing a busy festival period that included the 1xtra stage at Reading & Leeds festival.

With an E.P alongside Great Skies due for an imminent release, a massive collaboration in the pipeline and a wealth of support already behind him, FRANKO FRAIZE presents ‘Lines’.

New Music Video: I Woke Up – Fazer

Having recently laid his soul bare in a very honest interview with Not For The Radio, FAZER continues to lay his ghosts to rest as he ditches the pop and gets right back to his roots with new single, ‘I Woke Up’.

The record makes for a welcomed return of the producer/rapper that sees him provides a sincere account of his time in the music industry and reconnect with the music that so clearly inspires him, allowing him to be the artist that his experience and growth has led him to be. Detailing the lows he has faced within his lengthy career, the self-produced beat draws on elements of trap, tinged with soulful strings, hi-hats and adlibs.

In a current climate that sees superstars rise from the underground and attention on the here and now, FAZER’s previous achievements may come as a surprise to some. As a platinum-selling artist/rapper, songwriter and producer, FAZER has been in the public eye for over 10 years, releasing three certified platinum studio albums and selling over 3.2 million albums in the UK. His production skills are unquestionable as he has worked with some of the worlds biggest stars and has previously helped to arrange the highly acclaimed Urban Classic’s BBC Proms at the world-renowned, Royal Albert Hall.

With a refreshing, feel-good vibe on a reminiscent record that oozes growth, FAZER is set to ‘wake up’ the scene once again.
