Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Team podcast
from News Talks at b This is cool.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
A oh, I like that.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
It's called Sunrise. It's by Young Franco and it features Moroki.
You know Moroki ki we Muso Moroki.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Yeah, that's very kind of jazz. His new album, well,
Young Franco's new album is.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Called It's Frankie Baby, and Stelle Clifford Music Review has
been listening Kilda.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
What it's like A great stage, It's frank coming on
jas Hanes kind of styles and great single to start with.
So that's actually how the album ends with something Rise
and it's got that beachy jazz and some kind of.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Sound sort of Brazilian almost, you know.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Yeah actually, And I think that's what's really awesome when
you get an album from a DJ producer, right, is
that you get all kinds of styles in one album.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
And I really felt like I needed.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Something kind of upbeat and partyish and summary, and that
is exactly what he's managed to do on this album,
because you'll have that kind of beachy jazz, morockey's voice
sounding all amounts of awesome, and then you'll have artists
like on the opening track where it's real you know
the band The Streets or maybe Gorillas like that kind
(01:44):
of spoken kind of singing. It's called wake Up and
it's a real good like power into the album. It
makes me think of the in Between Us. Yeah, yeah,
which you know that was a time ode, but that
real punchy speaking, almost rap kind of style.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
I actually looked the word for that, Jack for speak.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Saying, oh yeah, what is it.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
It's sprit guzang.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
That's one of those German words.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
I feel like the Germans got words for everything, right.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Don't they.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
They've got like a word for the feeling when you
put your hand in a in a like a grain
of in a sack of grain.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Oh yes, that kind of yeah yeah, but it sounds
exactly like what it is. Sprigersang is just speaking thing
cool but just put one on it and then it
sounds fairly confident.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
I got you can buy like a book of them,
and I feel like confident.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I got it for my dad for Christmas one.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Yeah, yeah, that sounds like a dad, you'll get it
one day. Yeah, And this is great. So there's that
kind of real punchy stuff. It's really R and B
hip hop influenced there's the electro dance thing, which I
think is what Young Franco was kind of known for
anyway on.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
His sets that he does.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
In his shows, but this has got this real international
feel because he has used the featured artists and their
kind of genre or where they come from to really
create this music. Which yeah, again, it just means that
right throughout the album, you're never getting anything that's the
same and identical, and a really cool way to lean
into those featured artists, a lot of them. It's I
(03:16):
think he's getting quite renowned on the circuit, especially in
the UK, where he can kind of like to stalk
someone and know they're in town and then message them
and be like, hey, would you like to come into
the studio for and put some vocals down or put
your kind of version of production onto the song, And
that's kind of a lot of what this album.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
Is based on.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
It's quite smart.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
It's really smart, and it's fun, like there's some real
stump like this as a standout, it's one of my favorites.
It's got vocals from Grammy nominated Carlow and her vocals
on man, it's just so commanding and strong and it's
got like a Mary J.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
Blige sort of.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Fund about it, but real sharp at the same time.
And I think that's also his production that comes in
underneath it. But yeah, for me, it was a standout.
Then you've got give praise, give thanks. That's a big
single that's doing quite well at the moment, and it's
real reggae and fused drum and bass. General Levy is
the guy who does the vocals, and he does that
(04:18):
cool reggae vibration riff thing with his voice.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Don't make me.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Reggae's this rattling role kind of thing with a trill,
a whole lot of vocals, and you're like, how are
you breathing and making that noise at the same time.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
See, that's going to make you have to go and
listen to it.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Yeah, I am, so you.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
Can get what I'm thinking.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
It was really good Daydreaming, which we're going to play
a little bit of. It's got this disco funk, real
sliding bass, but a strong piano melody in it, and
he says it's all about being lost in the beauty
and awe of the world, which also is kind of
like a really good way of looking at his album.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
You sort of get lost in.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
The variations and the quite punchy sort of production that's
be find a lot of these and like I say,
you can go real cruisy, beachy, but then these real standout,
sort of hip hop le tracks. I just think it's
really fun for there, Like I feel really uplifted by it.
I think he's got a really beautiful energy about him.
(05:21):
Here's a bit of a throwback, like there's a ninety
nostalgic sing it back.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
You can think of that before.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
It's such a little gem and don william Yeah, you
got it.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
That's going to.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
Yeah, yeah, Danniel Williams voice on that. So it was just.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Right, it's all right, you justtions that's all right.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
It's a it's an album where he's like made connections
and then he's just started to use those to help
inspire his music. And I feel like it's an album
you can put on lots because of the variation that
you've got in it, and there'll be some that maybe
you're real jam and if you're not really into R
and B or hip hop, you know that's okay because
there's only one or two tracks and you go onto
the next trick. But kind of sit with it for
(06:11):
a bit, because some of those ones that are a
bit like jarish at first have ended up being kind
of my favorites. Yeah, yeah, right, because it mixes with
those styles and genres and I'm quite yeah, it's nice
to hear all of it in one big album.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Cool sounds like it sounds cool in every sense.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Sounds like like producer Libby is quite judgmental about music,
and you know, because she's a you know, she's GenZ
and so I just I'll make sure that I have this, like,
you know, if I drive past her, I'll make sure
I'm playing with on the stereo creed. But at the
same time, it does sound like I might actually enjoy.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
It, and you might sound like you've been rhythm and vine.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Yes, Littlala or exactly.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Slender in the Grass That was kind of exactly exactly.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
No, it's just so really good. Okay, I'm listening. I'm
looking forward to listen to ittle bit more. So, what
did you give it?
Speaker 4 (06:58):
It's a great weekend album as an out of five,
eight out of five.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Wow, that's not the thing.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Definitely a half point.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
I'm trying to say, eight point five.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Do you know what it's like when people say, oh,
we're giving, you know, when you hear athletes and they say.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
We gave one hundred and ten percent.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Yes, it drives me nuts when people say that, because
I'm like, you can't. You cannot give more than a
hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
You cannot, you know. Eight out of five, eight out
of five. There you go, very good.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
Listen to music, but I can't always speak words or numbers.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Hey, I can't sing. We've all get our limitations.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Thank you so much, as Stelle eight out of ten.

Speaker 4 (08:43):
Slip out of those.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
Trucks.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Tuck on the control shut truck. But there's nothing going
on behind lieses and this the way at point to
find the time time day dream man, last than a while,
(09:12):
