The Boy With The Thorn In His Side

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 when the song kicks in, you can hardly be faulted for doing a double take as you think you’re listening to a French house track that Daft Punk might have written in their sleep. Suddenly the track gets all funkdified in a way that we never came close to hearing on the debut record. Vincent’s vocals are under attack by the dirty distorted bassline that simply dominates the track. It’s very danceable and the kind of song that you will not be able to resits throwing your hands up in the air before getting to the chorus and find yourself blushing at the words.

One thing is for sure. Vincent is swinging for the fences and is leaving nothing to chance. It will be interesting to see if Follow The Leader shows us the development of a pop genius or becomes yet another desperate, hollow plea for superstardom.
