So what happens when you take one of the most blindingly steamy, sexy, sweaty tracks of 2011 and detonate it with powerful 8-bit synths, stuttered beats and enough energy to light up LA? You get nearly 6 minutes of pulsing, pounding and provocative pop aural pleasures. Now if you will excuse me between the cover art and that remix I need a cold shower... MP3: Flesh (Vincent Did It Remix) by Simon Curtis Get the whole RA album on iTunes and hear more from Vince at [...]
I remember the excitement that took over when I first heard Frankmusik , it's back and I am falling in love with Vince and his music all over again. Boundless energy and endless tongue-n-cheekiness. "Don't let those bastards bring you down!" Vince Did It Soundcloud
Down with Frankmusik, long live Vincent Frank! It seems that Frankmusik is officially no more , but have no fear die hard fans, Vince has not given up on music. After parting ways with Island Records the unbelievably talented vocalist, producer and melody maker wasted no time creating new music. 'Dynamo' has just been unleashed for us all to enjoy. Set free from label oversight and commitments Vincent is free to make the music he wants, he is an artist that has always been true to himself even while trying to experiment with [...]
Tweet And here we go.... When you think of pop music, pure and unadulterated, shameless pop, Erasure have to find themselves near the top of the heap. For over twenty years, the duo of Andy Bell and Vince Clarke have made the three and half minute electronic pop song into an art form that is often imitated but never really duplicated. The coupling of Andy's soaring falsetto and Vince's synth wizardry have garnered an worldwide audience and a legacy beyond compare. As a wee little lad myself, I [...]

I'm going to make an admission. It pains me so much more than these words can truly express but it needs to be done. I have to admit that I am wrong. I was wrong in jumping the gun over my elation over hearing a new single by an artist who I have so much love for and expected great things from. I have to take back my praise of The Fear Inside . Upon further review of the single and the promotional film that while it's true that America is obviously the object of Vincent [...]
Mark your calendars, children! 2011 just may be the year that Frankmusik officially owns your social calendar. I don't know about you but I was certainly dreading the possibility that Vincent Frank may go soft on us in an attempt to fully go global but those fears...were quickly tossed to the side after hearing the brand new single The Fear Inside. As good as a debut as Complete Me was, there was a tinge of saccharine that over time would make one's tooth start to ache with the exception of Time Will Tell. Think [...]
Geez. Wasn't it only yesterday when I talked about Frankmusik for the first time? 2009 was definitely dominated by Mr. Frank on this here blog and with very good reason. Complete Me was a simply fantastic record and more people should have listened to it. It most definitely deserved a better fate than an average number 13 placing on the UK charts. Luckily for us, Vincent will not be denied and is already hard at work at his next opus. The first fruits of which we have here in the song Losing Streak . Immediately [...]
On Saturday night the 12th at the 9:30 Club, D.C. readied for a clash of two rock goddesses - New Zealander electropopper Ladyhawke and Norwegian punk rocker Ida Maria . Support for the night was provided by London electropop/remixer extraordinaire Frankmusik and New York glam rockers Semi Precious Weapons . This tour is all thanks to the organization and chutzpah of SoCal celebrity gossip "reporter" Perez Hilton . A nice Neuro rep outside the club before the show explained to me that the owner of the [...]
We have been covering Vincent Frank aka FRANKMUSIK on this site for almost over a year so we thought it would be feature him on our MUSIC MONDAY series. Our relationship with Vincent all started almost two years ago when Joe (The hidden ninja in fakeRICH) sent him an email and eventually put together an interview with him. (INTERVIEW HERE) Despite being one of the best interviews on this site, it also served as a catalyst to [...]
I don't have time to type. I'm tired from the painkillers I have to take before this oral surgery deal on Wednesday. BUT after an insane weekend of pure fun ( Big ups to Jessica K, Felonious Punk, Veronica from Creem Team, Todd Kane, Gabriella @ EMI, Michael @ Razor & Tie, The Whip, Erika & Jess, Lucas & Jeff, and the bouncer who kicked us out from backstage and stole our radio girl lol ) I felt the need to address one issue (the story from this weekend and an interview with The Whip will [...]
Somewhere between Iverness and Glasgow our dear friend Frankmusik (born Vincent Frank) is probably not doing so hot. Why you ask? Today his 5 gigs in 10 days experiment with Blackberry called "Live & Lost" started. They dumped him in a field with like 20 quid and told him to find his way to Glasgow. Now granted, there's a dude with a camera following him, but I mean outside of conversation he's fucked. No food, little money, and in the middle of nowhere. TO [...]
FrankMusik has recently completed a new music video for his single "Better Off As Two" from his upcoming album Complete Me. Directed by Tim Pope (The Cure, David Bowie, Kaiser Chiefs) the video uses projection on a shirtless Vincent Frank as the screen in some parts of the video. The song itself is another solid pop gem. Its such a refreshing take on pop music I'm excited to hear the rest of the album. The single is due out on April 13 [...]
