YOUNG FRANCO RELEASES NEW SINGLE 'GOING ON' FT. PIRI & MC DT

Globally acclaimed DJ and producer Young Franco shares a brand-new infectious summer banger today, “Going On” featuring piri and MC DT, and announces his debut album “it’s Franky baby!” out January 24.

Young Franco has also been invited to be the next RADAR artist in Australia in Spotify’s emerging artist program. RADAR is Spotify’s global Emerging Creator Program aimed at creating an ecosystem behind what is next in audio, betting on emerging artists, songwriters and podcasters and supporting them throughout their careers. "Stoked to be on the lineup for RADAR! A bunch of friends and people I love have been on it including Royel Otis, Genesis Owusu and Vv Pete which is sick. Plus, I've never been on a Billboard :),” Young Franco shares.

“Going On” featuring piri and MC DT, is a refreshingly lucid and melodically soothing cut. The song pulses with the unmistakable energy of UK Garage, merging crisp, syncopated beats with lush, soulful melodies. UK-based singer, songwriter, and electronic music producer piri shines through with her distinctive blend of dreamy pop and UK dance music, alongside award-winning and one of the UK’s Garage scene pioneers MC DT.

Young Franco shares, “I've always had a lot of respect for piri and all the records she puts out. We worked together while I was in London. I was really inspired by all the UK garage sounds that I was listening at the time, going out to shows... piri is a very skilled writer, and we sort of just banged out that song in a day and ended up getting MC DT on it afterwards and put it all together. Then we shot a fun video clip.”

piri says, “being in the studio with Young Franco of course brought back memories of my time in Australia, so I was really channelling the sun and good energy I felt from that part of the world! This song is just about waking up and feeling good and having one of those rare days where everything just goes right, it was so much fun to work on and I feel it radiates those sunny vibes.”

The debut album, “it’s Franky baby!” is a compilation of Young Franco’s genre-bending and cutting-edge productions, an energetic fusion of disco, Italo-disco, dance music, rap, and punk, weaving influences from the UK, America, Italy, Nigeria and Jamaica. Young Franco has described the collection as "an accumulation of all my friends, everyone I love, and artists I've been privileged to work alongside."
