Roc Nation’s very own Kalan.FrFr has released visuals for new cut “High Vibrations”. Kalan’s latest single is a modern-day romance record that basks in poetically confessional lyrics about showing love to, and receiving love from that special one.
There is a vocal sample from Nikki Giovanni and James Baldwin from a 1971 recorded conversation that acknowledges the contrasting dynamics in relationships.
About the inspiration behind the song Kalan says, “I saw the Nikki/James Baldwin clip on Instagram and it spoke to me. Relationships suck. If you love me you love me let’s leave all the outside noise out and just figure it out together.“ The visuals directed by Terrius Mykel shows the melodic hip hop artist picking up the pieces of a broken relationship, offering a more promising future to a woman and encouraging healthy love.
“High Vibrations” is featured on Kalan.FrFr’slatest 6-song EP ‘Not Hard 2 Understand’ where the charismatic and laidback storyteller combines a clever mix of punchlines, flexes and old-school OG tales that keeps West Coast music alive. The latest single comes on the heels of the Mustard produced “Ain’t Nothin,” where we found the lyrical tastemaker similarly making it clear that life is good and luxurious extravagances are not a problem.
‘Not Hard 2 Understand’ is a special body of work that relishes in how simple the message should be. Kalan.FrFr is unapologetic in describing the way street culture has shaped his worldview but he celebrates it in sincere detail and delivers it with confidence and pride, showcasing his growth as an artist and young man in his prime.
The EP also features the smash single “Butterfly Coupe Pt 2” with Migos frontman Quavo which was released earlier this year. The Hitmaka and OG Parker produced track is a hedonistic, roof-missing glide through the streets of L.A., replete with lavish visions of big rims, designer clothing, penthouses suites, gorgeous women, and thousand-dollar steakhouse dinners
Kalan.FrFr creates music with a therapeutic quality that snaps people out of the matrix and reminds them that there is still so much living to do. He’s paving the way for something that we haven’t seen before. This is real music with real feelings. After all, it’s in his very name.
Tune in now…
