Frankie Negron Returns with Independence Day

FRANKIE NEGRON RETURNS WITH
INDEPENDENCE DAY

On September 22, platinum-selling recording artist Frankie Negron returns with Independence Day, his first album in three years. Independence Day also marks Negron’s first album in English.

“If you’re an artist, you’re not required to just paint portraits; if you’re an actor, you don’t just star in comedies. As a singer, you shouldn’t be pigeonholed. You have to remember singing is an art, and if you’re influenced by certain music, why not embrace it? I will absolutely go back and do another salsa record, I haven’t left it behind - I would just like to do more than one thing. Once people hear the album, there will be no doubt that this is just another facet of who I am,” Frankie explains.

The album is a composite of his natural romanticism and emotionally-charged vocal performances, infusing a salsa influence with rock. It’s a bold, creative move for a young man with a dedicated Latin fan base; yet, for Negron, recording Independence Day simply feels like the perfect next step for him as an artist, performer, and songwriter.
