Frank Leone’s ‘Loser’ sees the Chicago vocalist/MC/producer ruminates on an adolescent love story that could have been over live instrumentation from a host of old friends. “I went to school with everyone on the record,” Leone explains. “Guitar was my roommate [Grant Wu], opera singer [Madeline Whitesell] lives a block away, and Aaron [Gamalinda, trumpet player from Zaramela] worked on EnterWILD with me. I made the beat and hook for Jon Waltz’s new shit, but then his project headed a different way… I heard someone passed it to D.R.A.M. and he might be interested but I ended up making it my own. Came together really naturally. Something light to counter the dark that’s coming.” Stream below via SoundCloud.
