Writblr will never convince me that adverbs are the enemy when Lolly taught me differently.

RULES: simply answer the following 22 questions and then tag 22 (or however many) people you’d love to get to know more!

Thanks @smellerbeee for tagging me! 

name/nickname: Kim

zodiac sign: Sagittarius

height: I64cm (5'4). 

hogwarts house: Hmmm, I dunno. I don’t care about learning for the sake of learning, but I do enjoy wit and creativity, so I guess I have some Ravenclaw traits. I care about standing up for injustice, which is very Gryffindor, but I wouldn’t actually say I’m a Gryffindor. I also don’t do hard work unless it benefits me, and I tend to focus on my own success, so I’m more Slytherin than Hufflepuff (though I think if I actually went to Hogwarts, I’d just choose Hufflepuff since the whole blood purity thing is stupid, and I like yellow.) There we go, I’d be Hufflepuff and justify it with how they said ‘they’d take the lot’. I can fit there if I want to, lol.    

last thing I googled: “What is 164cm in feet?” Because I don’t know these things.

favorite musician/s: I have very eclectic music tastes, but at the moment I’m really enjoying Two Steps from Hell, SKALD, Karliene, and Within Temptation.

last song I listened to: Loibere Risen by Erutan

song stuck in my head: Nothing at the moment. I always get the stupid Monstro stage theme from Kingdom Hearts 1 stuck in my head, though. No idea why.

followers: I don’t really like answering this question because it just seems kind of ... eh. So let’s leave that one a mystery.

following: Too lazy to check, but I think it’s over 300.

amount of sleep: I have problems with my health, so I’ll just keep sleeping for like 12-14 hours if I don’t set an alarm. I try to get at least 8 hours a night, but when I get super busy with work or in a creative zone that can drop down to about 4-6. I also get bouts of insomnia sometimes, which frankly sucks.   

lucky number: I don’t have one.

what I’m wearing:  Silk nightdress. I’m about to go to sleep.

dream job: Published author who can live off writing alone.

dream trip: Dunno. I hate planning trips and like jumping onto other people’s plans. I would like to visit Scotland and Norway at least once.

favorite food: Hmm, I dunno. I get sick of the same thing really fast, but I do like bangers and mash.

instruments: I can play the piano, but I prefer to sing.

languages: English is my native language, basic-intermediate for Japanese, and I know basic Maori (though I’ve forgotten a lot over the years.)

favorite song/s: I don’t really have a single favourite of anything, but I do really like Thomas Bergersen’s “Children of the Sun”.

random fact: One of my front teeth is fake ‘cause I tripped over a skipping rope when I was little, landed face first, and broke it lol. I’m pretty accident-prone.

aesthetic: Probably a mixture of “cute” and “vintage”. I don’t really think about those things.

Too lazy to tag, but anyone who reads this and wants to answer, by all means go for it!

FRENSHIP and Yoke Lore Reclaim Their Originality with “Wanted A Name”

With every thrilling release, indie-pop duo FRENSHIP captivates listeners with their feel good sound and inviting energy. “Wanted A Name” is FRENSHIP’s enticing new single written and recorded with their good friend and fellow songwriter, Yoke Lore. The two indie artists do a stunning job at fusing elements of their respective sounds to create a brilliant banger that will make you feel invincible and untouchable. 

FRENSHIP exclusively shared with Ones to Watch: 

“With this song we didn’t try to think about genres or influences - we just let it happen. This really was a true combination of Yoke Lore and FRENSHIP. The sounds were chosen together, the lyrics written together, the overall vibe is pure combination. I’m not sure that happens too often in collaborations as there’s usually one dominant artist. It felt good to let the song unfold itself; we usually overthink and overanalyze so much that it was freeing to just let it be what it was supposed to be—a pure cry and reminder to enjoy ourselves. ‘Wanted a Name’ is about recapturing that essence and purity that drives our creation.” 

James Sunderland and Brett Hite are the creative masterminds behind FRENSHIP, and they’re on a daring mission to add their own personal indie twist to the otherwise overrated pop genre. Since their memorable breakout hit “Capsize,” FRENSHIP has been named Spotify’s #2 Breakout Artist in 2016 and one of Shazam’s 2017 Emerging Artists, and they continue to expand their global reach with an incredible new single, “Wanted A Name.”

On “Wanted A Name,” Hite reflected, 

“We love the interaction with our fans when we’re on the road. The love and appreciate is flowing, but when the tour is over, it’s easy to wonder if that feeling will ever happen again. It can be an isolating feeling trying to figure out how to turn those amazing moments into something that will last.”

Written shortly after their first headlining tour in 2018, “Wanted A Name” focuses on the lingering uncanniness of returning home after an exhilarating months long journey on the road. This electrifying song is a rousing anthem that gives us a small taste of what life is like as bedroom producers/songwriters who are also headlining sold out shows across the country. “Wanted A Name” explores the recapturing of love, acceptance, and validation after being away from our familiar surroundings for so long. 

Sunderland reflected, 

“Our lives revolve around writing, touring, and perfecting every element of what you see and hear from us, which fuels us and brings happiness. In the midst of focusing on that, we don’t want to lose sight of what made us start making music in the first place. This song is an attempt to regain that original feeling of pure excitement of sharing our music with the world.”

Featuring pounding beats and infectious hooks, “Wanted A Name” showcases FRENSHIP’s ability to switch sonic gears when working with other artists while still producing their signature sound. Having performed at big-name festivals like Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo, FRENSHIP is definitely a duo we should keep our eyes on as they already have plans to drop their new album later this year. Plus, stay tuned for our upcoming “All Eyes On” performance video with Yoke Lore!
