Frank Joshua is a gifted singer-songwriter based in London. His intimate, reflective songs take the listener on a journey. Frank has a knack for crafting catchy melodies that perfectly complement his thoughtful lyrics. As a brilliant pianist, he adds a jazz flair that enhances his compositions. Frank’s rich, expressive vocals connect with listeners seeking more meaningful music. Growing up in North London in the 80s and 90s immersed Frank in a vibrant alternative scene. Those formative years clearly influenced his original style even today. He pours his passion and dedication into each song, crafting stories that feel personal yet universally relatable.
Frank Joshua is back with a heck of an EDM pop bop called “Torture” – and it sure doesn’t TORTURE the ears! The track eases in with retro-tinged synths that immediately piqued my interest. Before long, crisp EDM percussion kicks in to get your foot tapping. As more layers unfold, like bouncy keys adding melody, the energy builds to an infectious peak you can’t help but dance to.

Throughout it all, Frank’s vocals provide a nice contrast – his melancholic tones contrasting the uptempo beat. The lyrics are also super catchy, like the chorus where he sings “One word, one hint, a white lie, just to play the game of torture.” I found myself singing along.

Then, just when you think you have the song pegged at around the 2-minute mark, it takes an atmospheric left turn! Heartbeat-style percussion and swells of synth rise up like a wave. The vocals by Frank Joshua float overhead, transported to new trance-like heights. Just as it seems the song may fully immerse as an ambient epic, a massive beat drops in that had me completely losing it.
From start to finish, there’s so much to devour in this dynamic track – retro vibes, EDM bangers, and an epic breakdown. Yet Frank Joshua ties it all together seamlessly. If he keeps putting out jams this solid, he’s sure to blow up even bigger. Can’t wait to see where he takes listeners next!
