Andy Frasco & The U.N. hit it out of the park with their playfully romantic new single and animated lyric video Swinging For The Fences — showcasing today on Tinnitist.
The third single from the band’s upcoming 10th studio album Growing Pains, Swinging For The Fences is an anthem of positivity and optimism for anyone who has ever stepped up to the plate in the hope of winning over someone who’s probably out of their league. Layering pop melodies and fuzzy indie-rock guitars over a Motown-laced chorus, a groovy bassline and punchy horns, the track is a home run that belongs on your playlist. Meanwhile, the lyrics deliver Frasco’s core message: If you want to win, you have to get in the game, even when your heart — and wallet — aren’t quite ready.
Featuring guest appearances by blues favorite G. Love and guitar virtuoso Eric Krasno, this song showcases the band’s evolving sound, which seamlessly blends blues, rock, pop and soul influences. Frasco’s evolution as a songwriter shines clearly, with themes embracing the complexities of life without sacrificing the lively energy of his well-loved performances. Fans eager to experience Frasco’s energetic live shows can catch him touring extensively across the U.S. in the coming months, including major festival appearances and exclusive performances.
Growing Pains will be the band’s landmark 10th studio album, set for release on May 23. The LP, produced by Frasco himself for the first time, finds the ever-evolving artist reflecting on life, growth, and balance while maintaining his signature mix of irreverence, humour and raw honesty.
