Trying To Forget: South Yorkshire singer-songwriter Gerard Frain drops introspective debut release ‘Remember’

Posted on 17 August 2021

Taken briskly from his upcoming debut EP cleverly named ‘Roominate‘, Gerard Frain has us feeling in a rather reflective gaze into the mirror as you ‘Remember‘ being with someone so special, who you thought would be holding your hand forever.

Gerard Frain is a Leonard Cohen, George Harrison and Paul Simon-inspired indie-folk singer-songwriter from South Yorkshire in England. He fuses that memory-filled nostalgic energy which sweeps you outside into the fields full of nature, as you recall those past moments which you can’t easily forget.

”Recorded entirely by himself in his bedroom he’ll have you emotionally grasped by the lyrics one second and tapping your toes the next.” ~ Gerard Frain

Sung with a comforting melody full of classic fondness to those who you want to remember, this is a wonderful song with such beauty attached. For a debut release, you have to admire this quality on a track that reminds you of those legendary music days, with the all-time icons he grew up listening to.

‘Remember‘ from the highly promising South Yorkshire indie-folk singer-songwriter Gerard Frain, is that feeling-I-regret single that has you in a rather sad trance, which is so hard to snap out of. Your mind is transfixed onto that moment which saw you drift away and you feel an empty heart resurface, as you wish things were so different.

No one wants to grow old and alone in this lonely world after all.

This is the message that is easy to see, as he looks into her eyes and wonders what supernatural powers she has over him.

”Fans of Dua Lipa, Ava Max, and Billie Eilish will enjoy her distinctive combination of stellar dance-hall melodies, honest and emotive lyricism, and electrifying visuals.” ~ Riley Rex

Her world class vocal ability is such a pleasure to witness and is superbly backed up by a busty beat which is all the temptation you need. She somehow has the rare gift of making you automatically turn up the volume and starting the video over again and again, so you can truly hear and properly see, each moment perfectly.

‘Demon‘ from the wildly talented Los Angeles, California dance-pop solo musician Riley Rex, shows us a knife-sized amount of a fantastic new artist who skillfully leaves your fragile heart beating rather quickly. This is a fantastic music video which is full of bloody baths, creepy dolls, stunning vocals, and unsuspecting men, who should probably stop reading the newspaper. She is a tremendous talent who clearly has the hunger to innovate beyond what was thought possible before – and be totally herself – no matter what.

This is one of the catchiest songs you will hear all year, and will give you a jolt in your curious consciousness, when you least expect it.
