Frank Cosentino is in a romantic groove on his soulful new single Vibin — showcasing today on Tinnitist.
“The story of Vibin symbolizes my journey,” the Toronto singer-guitarist explained. “Fate guided me towards collaboration with Juno-winning producer Derek Downham. Together we brought my newfound creativity to life. Throughout the process, my progress was evident, and I emerged as a stronger writer, player and human.”
After more than four decades of touring, writing, and producing music, Cosentino realized he needed to change his lifestyle. “I overcame the challenges of addiction and got sober seven years ago,” he stated. “With renewed inspiration, I returned to songwriting with increased focus and energy.” And after working with producer Downham at Studio Cardinal Toronto, Cosentino is ready to release his next album to the world — the aptly titled Comeback.
“It’s been my personal goal as a producer, songwriter, and artist to work with other artists who have a grand understanding of their respected genres and Frank Cosentino has been a lifelong stalwart of blues and a ferocious lead player,” says Downham, who plays keyboard, drums, and guitar on the track.
“Our goal was to write a song that would ignite and stoke the flames of ambition at the heart of the listener. A song that pushes forward against the naysayers and gatekeepers. The hero is within each and every one of us but you can’t wait for the call. We ultimately walk alone into the ring to face the variables life hurls at us. Weather the storm and your reward is truly living a life fulfilled.”
Cosentino’s guitar-driven blues-rock, combined with his poetic lyric style, will wow fans and newcomers to his music alike. Inducted into The Blues Hall of Fame in 2017 as a Master Blues Artist, Cosentino is considered a real gentleman of the blues, making it his mission to keep the art of blues guitar growing and moving forward.
His new music does just that. Drawing on his past experiences, which include sharing the stage with greats like Buddy Guy, Johnny Winter and Jeff Healy, and newer talents like Sue Foley, Phillip Sayce and Anthony Gomes, Cosentino creates new classic blues in his personal style.
