FRENSHIP make wide-angle pop songs that are realized in the moment, shaped by diverse inspirations: the brash, bold innocence of 80s pop; the experimental streak of 90s hip-hop; and, not to mention, the songwriting chops of stadium-filling superstars. Their songs are painted in bold, bright colors, packed with harmonies and unshakeable hooks that connect with a global audience. FRENSHIP’s latest single “Wanted A Name (feat. Yoke Lore), released via Counter Records (part of the Ninja Tune family), follows the explosive interest which has greeted the music they have released so far.
