From GRAMMY-nominations to sold-out tours and hundreds of millions of streams to-date, R&B singer-songwriter Fridayy, continues his prolific run with a new single 'Baddest In The Room' out now via Def Jam Recordings.
The track illuminates his uncanny and undeniable genre fusion, merging styles into a signature sound without comparison. Right out of the gate, handclaps fuel the flow as gospel-esque harmonies echo. Picking up speed, guitars accent an island-flavored beat, and Fridayy’s lovedrunk vocals take hold on the intoxicating hook, “You’re the baddest in the room…I’m five shots in right now and all I see is you.”
It follows the emotionally charged and heartfelt “When It Comes To You.” Beyond tallying nearly 200 million streams and counting and garnering critical acclaim, the song is now RIAA Gold-certified.
Stretching the scope of his talents, he recently teamed up with The Chainsmokers for “Friday.” Earning acclaim, EDM.com applauded how “The Chainsmokers recapture ‘Roses’ magic with carefree anthem alongside Fridayy,” and HotNewHipHop christened him “one of R&B’s most soulful singers.” WE RAVE YOU hailed it as “a trifecta of pure excellence” and promised, “Destined for nothing less than the very top of the charts, ‘Friday’ is the epitome of a track that will have anyone out of their seats and straight onto the nearest dance-floor in no time at all.”
Born Francis LeBlanc, Fridayy learned to play several instruments at a young age — including piano, guitar, drums, trumpet, and bass, at the encouragement of his father, a Haitian immigrant, and musician. Nurturing his love for music and instrumentation in a local church choir, where he’d begin to craft his spacious and evocative sound, a blend of alternative R&B and gospel that was also inspired by his favorite acts PartyNextDoor and The Weeknd. Between 2012 and 2013, Fridayy released a steady stream of music on SoundCloud, and while he worked on his art quietly, Fridayy actively pursued a career in basketball, but an injury derailed his NBA dream. He returned to his first love and set himself back on a path towards music full-time.
After years of building a solid reputation with high-profile industry executives and musicians, the Philadelphia artist and multi-instrumentalist breakthrough arrived in 2022 as a feature on DJ Khaled’s “GOD DID,” featuring Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, and Jay-Z. He has also recently written, produced, and collabed with countless artists, including Lil Baby, Chris Brown, Lil Tjay, and Rod Wave, to name a few. This year, Fridayy was named as part of XXL's 2023 Freshman Class of 2023. He gave a heartfelt performance for his freestyle that featured a choir to sing background vocals. Watch HERE. Stay tuned for more from Fridayy this year!
