Imagine: You are riding a bike down a hill lined with trees, the sun flickering on your face as it shines through the leaves. This path has never been taken before, but it feels so familiar. Filling you with a sense of nostalgia, you can’t help but dream about the future and how far you’ve come. This is the exact feeling has captured on their upcoming sophomore album, I Can See The Future.

Thanks to @1824, I (.k6) had the opportunity to hear about the profound experiences that led to the creation of this record. In a setting as intimate as their writing, Ross explained that this record is a continuation of their debut, To Learn. After overcoming a transformational period, the introspective coming-of-age story has evolved into a reflection of their place in the world. To them, “writing music is like trying to answer a philosophical question.” While they may never find the answer, it feels just as good to participate because it's a natural human drive.

The leading single, “Stay” showcases this mindset, continuing the thread of vulnerability and connection that Ross is known for. The track is an attempt to reach out and foster community, learning to lean on others, and build connections. Along the way, they discovered that “right now in the world we live in, we take [community] for granted. We’re not used to actively trying to see it or put a lot of effort into it, because we’re taught that individuality is the natural order.”

Each individual track expands upon these themes: from “Alone” and the beauty of self-understanding in isolation, to “Grieving” discussing the contemplation that followed the passing of their grandfather, to “Point of View”, a classic love song with a twist in perspective. The dynamic emotions scattered throughout mimic the visual mosaics that Ross is known for utilizing. Every memory related to the record comes together to create a collage, accurately representing the period of their life when they wrote it.

Their hope is that every listener believes that the world is capable of change. Through an exploration of the self, Leith Loss extends the invitation for the audience to do the same.

Pride. There is no better way to describe Frankie Grande’s debut album “Hotel Rock Bottom” besides the story of taking pride in who you are, where you have come from, how you have grown and the experiences you have made you who you are. The debut album from the multi-talented artist gives listeners a piece of his journey through addiction, recovery, meeting his husband and where he is now.

With the opportunity from @1824, we had the chance to talk with Frankie as he sat in his house and shared stories that made “Hotel Rock Bottom.” In full glam, he was an open book, creating a lively and comfortable look into his everyday life. He invited all of us into his life like the album invites listeners. Frankie states, “The whole point of the album is to show my truth.”

When asked about the title track and if Hotel Rock Bottom is a real place, Frankie said yes, but he doesn’t remember where it is. This makes the hotel a representation of acceptance, “Hotel Rock Bottom truly is about my rock bottom moment where I made the decision to leave, check out, and get sober. So it’s a real place.” The ability to connect feelings allows listeners to connect with Frankie. He beautifully describes the setting of acceptance whether it is our beds, cars, homes, or in his experience a hotel, and not hiding from our truth.

Beyond the vulnerability, the album has a constant theme of the dance floor, a place where people can go to escape and truly be free. When asked about what the dance floor represents, Frankie said community, “I just came alive on the dance floor, and I felt like I was okay exactly the way that I was when I was dancing in a club.” With the upbeat pop tracks like the lead single “Boys,” this album gives space for each listener to create their own dance floor.

Frankie has long been a star, but his debut album sends us to space and allows us to learn about each light that makes him shine. By performing at Pride festivals around the country, the community isn’t just for him, it is for every listener as well. Frankie Grande’s music doesn’t just express vulnerability, it allows every listener to shine with him.
