Chicago’s Frank Leone hit us with his new single this morning, featuring production and guitar from dhjelmstad. The track covers a wild range of emotion, opening with an eerie sample cutting in and out, sounding like the tortured soul of a computer. When the beat drops though, Frank‘s smirking, smooth-yet-sharp delivery signals a more celebratory tone, and then when his verse ends and a clanging band comes in to back him up, we get the sense of an even rowdier time. Frank himself said of the track, “I released it in July instead of June because the point of the song is that once something’s over, there’s no reason you can’t continue the good feelings that came with it above and beyond however long it lasts, just stay positive.” Keep an eye on Frank Leone, he’s made music with Chance The Rapper, Vic Mensa, and a load of other Chicago talent. This Chi-town movement is unstoppable, and somehow, Frank stands out. Enjoy the strange tunes below, and get ready–he says a self-directed “JuneLIFE” video is coming soon.
