FRENZY FREQUENCY 001: Your Algorithm Has No Taste

Your algorithm has spent years mistaking repetition for taste. Consider this its termination letter.

FRENZY FREQUENCY 001 is our first official transmission: 33 tracks for the hours when self-respect has logged off, the lighting is criminally flattering and sending one more text feels like a fucking civic duty.

This is not a release radar. It is a mood with priors. Alicia Creti and Sienna Spiro arrive first, voices too large for polite little boxes. Summer Walker, H.E.R., SZA and Bryson Tiller keep the emotional crime scene warm. Leon Thomas, Saint Harison, Elmiene, SOLOMON and UMI turn the comedown into something almost architectural.

The sound is slow-burn R&B with its shirt half-buttoned: immaculate vocals, bad timing, erotic pessimism and enough yearning to trigger a city-wide power cut. No mood taxonomy. No beige wellness nonsense. Just beautiful people making emotionally irresponsible music.

Press play. Make the mistake cinematic. Spotify · Curated by FRENZY

‘Congratulations’ by Alicia Creti

We already told you Alicia Creti can make losing your shit sound expensive. “Congratulations” is the receipt. Creti opens the playlist like she has arrived at the funeral of whoever underestimated her: immaculate, unsmiling and dressed better than the corpse. The voice is enormous; the damage is tailored. Starting anywhere else would have been cowardice.

‘Great Expectation’ by Sienna Spiro

The title sounds mannerly. The feeling is not. Sienna Spiro sings with the unnerving composure of someone who has already replayed the catastrophe from every available camera angle. Her voice does not beg for attention; it makes attention stand still. This is heartbreak with posture—young, severe and far too self-aware to be called innocent.

‘Girls Like You’ by Henry Verus

Henry Verus gives desire a polished surface and a cracked foundation. “Girls Like You” is the sound of acting casual while the entire nervous system files an objection. Smooth enough for the car, wounded enough for the walk home, it makes restraint feel less like maturity than a badly maintained disguise.

‘I’ll Wait’ by Madison Ryann Ward

Patience is usually sold as a virtue. Madison Ryann Ward makes it sound like a dare. “I’ll Wait” carries devotion without sanding off its pride: tender, grounded and very clear about the difference between staying open and standing still. Waiting may be soft. It is not submission.

‘Cigarettes and Sex’ by prxz & Shiloh Dynasty

The title has already made the bad decision for you. prxz and Shiloh Dynasty keep everything blurred at the edges: intimacy remembered through smoke, screens and whatever details the brain edits after 2 a.m. It is only two minutes long, because obsession has never needed a full business day.

‘homies’ by Saint Harison & Tiana Major9

The title keeps the paperwork platonic. The voices absolutely do not. Saint Harison and Tiana Major9 circle each other with the dangerous ease of two people who know exactly where the line is and find that knowledge unhelpful. Friendship has rarely sounded this badly supervised.

‘Session 32’ by Summer Walker

Ninety-eight seconds. One guitar. Absolutely nowhere to hide. Summer Walker reduces the breakup song to its most dangerous materials and leaves every nerve exposed. “Session 32” understands that composure is mostly public relations. Sometimes the chicest thing a voice can do is crack exactly where the lie does.

‘ego talkin’’ by Saint Harison

Saint Harison lets the ego take the microphone and waits for it to incriminate itself. “ego talkin’” catches that humiliating gap between what you feel, what you say and the defensive little performance staged in between. Self-awareness arrives. Unfortunately, so does another excuse.

‘Treasure in the Hills’ by Leon Thomas

Leon Thomas does not merely enter a groove; he moves furniture into it. “Treasure in the Hills” is warm, low-lit and suspiciously persuasive—the sort of song that can make a terrible idea look like excellent interior design. Play it once and the room softens. Play it twice and somebody is staying over.

‘ICU’ by Coco Jones

Coco Jones turns need into a full-body emergency without making herself small enough to rescue. “ICU” is grand, bruised and completely uninterested in pretending detachment is power. The song does not whisper that it misses you. It places the feeling under hospital lighting and makes everybody look.

‘PATTERNS’ by Chelan & NNAVY

Some people call it chemistry. Chelan and NNAVY are less gullible. “PATTERNS” studies repetition after the romance has worn off: the familiar move, the predictable wound, the same gorgeous mess in a slightly different outfit. Recognition is the first step. Blocking the number remains optional.

‘Focus’ by H.E.R.

Attention is the cheapest thing a lover can give and somehow the hardest to obtain. H.E.R. turns that insult into velvet. “Focus” asks for the bare minimum with such control that the request starts sounding luxurious. Eye contact should not feel revolutionary. Here, it nearly does.

‘Save Yourself’ by Colette Lush

Colette Lush is not volunteering for another unpaid shift in somebody else’s emotional factory. “Save Yourself” puts a clean edge around exhaustion and calls the boundary what it is: survival, not cruelty. The door closes gently. It still locks.

‘CPR’ by Summer Walker

Summer Walker treats romance like attempted resuscitation: urgent, intimate and one breath away from disaster. “CPR” knows the fantasy of being revived by another person is hot precisely because it is medically unsound. Do not try this at home. You will anyway.

‘Sneak’ by Leon Thomas

“Sneak” is discretion with its collar open. Leon Thomas plays secrecy against appetite until privacy starts looking suspiciously like foreplay. Nobody here is asking for clarity; clarity would switch the lights on, and the whole point is how good the room looks dark.

‘Love Language’ by SZA

SZA understands romance as a translation problem with excellent styling. “Love Language” is tender, suspicious and already preparing evidence for the appeal. She wants fluency, not another person mumbling desire through mixed signals. Unfortunately, confusion has a very attractive accent.

‘Could’ve Been’ by H.E.R. & Bryson Tiller

The most expensive word in R&B is “could.” H.E.R. and Bryson Tiller stretch it into an alternate life: the relationship, the timing, the version of you who chose differently. Nobody wins the argument because the opponent is imaginary. That has never stopped anyone from staying up all night.

‘Playing Games’ by Summer Walker & Bryson Tiller

The extended version gives the argument more room and Bryson Tiller just enough rope. Summer Walker asks for consistency as if she has already accepted she will receive theatre instead. “Playing Games” is what happens when the bare minimum develops mood lighting and mistakes itself for romance.

‘I Guess’ by Saint Levant & Playyard

“I guess” is what people say when the feeling is enormous but dignity still has admin access. Saint Levant and Playyard turn the shrug into armour: intimate enough to expose the bruise, cool enough to deny the bruise exists. Nonchalance has never worked this hard.

‘I Got You’ by Ricky Rosen

Ricky Rosen offers reassurance without turning it into beige affirmation content. “I Got You” is direct, close and refreshingly free of romantic bureaucracy. Four syllables, no committee meeting. Sometimes the fantasy is simply somebody meaning what they say.

‘Peak (Fed Up)’ by RAAHiiM

RAAHiiM reaches the point where disappointment stops crying and starts packing. “Peak (Fed Up)” is fatigue sharpened into taste: controlled, cool and finished with explaining the obvious. The anger does not explode. It upgrades its standards.

‘Useless (Without You)’ by Elmiene

Elmiene has the nerve to make dependence sound dignified. “Useless (Without You)” admits the humiliating scale of attachment without hiding behind irony or an inspirational ending. The voice stays elegant. The confession is on its knees.

‘Music Taste’ by Annie Tracy

Every romance eventually faces the aux-cord tribunal. Annie Tracy understands that taste is never just taste; it is biography, seduction and a small authoritarian regime. “Music Taste” makes compatibility sound playful until somebody skips the wrong song.

‘Recovery’ by Justin Bieber

Before redemption became a content strategy, “Recovery” made repair sound private. Justin Bieber drops the pop-star armour and sits inside the apology instead of merchandizing it. The song is not absolution. It is the uncomfortable first draft submitted before anybody agrees to read it.

‘fool — A COLORS SHOW’ by SOLOMON

Under unforgiving studio light, SOLOMON has nowhere to put the feeling except inside the voice. “fool” makes romantic self-knowledge sound almost useless: yes, the mistake has been identified; no, that will not prevent a repeat offence. Intelligence is not immunity.

‘airplane thoughts’ by Dhruv

Altitude makes philosophers of people who refused to answer a text on the ground. Dhruv catches that suspended, nowhere feeling: too far away to act, close enough to replay everything. “airplane thoughts” is emotional turbulence with the seatbelt sign permanently on.

‘All in My Head’ by Tori Kelly

Tori Kelly knows the cruelest courtroom is the one behind the forehead. “All in My Head” puts instinct on trial, then lets the voice complicate every verdict. The technique is immaculate. The certainty is nowhere to be found. That imbalance is the point.

‘listen up’ by SOLOMON

SOLOMON issues the instruction the emotionally unavailable fear most. “listen up” is brief because the message has already been overexplained; the radio edit cuts straight to the point and leaves no decorative space for pretending not to understand. Hearing is physical. Listening is a choice.

‘Say Less’ by Colette Lush

“Say Less” is not silence; it is quality control. Colette Lush trims the excuses, the soft launches and the paragraphs written to disguise one ugly fact. When the truth finally enters, it does not need a long caption.

‘sore loser’ by SOLOMON

Grace in defeat is a scam invented by winners. SOLOMON lets the resentment remain attractive, wounded and slightly ridiculous—the precise emotional cocktail nobody photographs for the breakup carousel. “sore loser” does not take the high road. It knows the lighting is worse up there.

‘IT’S NOT THAT SERIOUS’ by ASTN

Nothing announces seriousness faster than insisting on the opposite in capital letters. ASTN packages emotional panic as a casual disclaimer and watches the disclaimer fail in real time. The phrase is supposed to shrink the feeling. It only gives the feeling a better hook.

‘Guess’ by Lucky Daye

Lucky Daye makes uncertainty feel like an invitation instead of a failure. “Guess” leaves enough negative space for fantasy to do its worst, then lets charm handle the cleanup. Certainty is overrated. It also rarely sounds this good.

‘moonlit room’ by UMI

UMI gets the final word because every good night needs somewhere soft to collapse. “moonlit room” closes the door without killing the electricity. After 32 tracks of ego, appetite, bargaining and exquisitely poor judgment, the playlist finally exhales. Not healed. Not sober. Just quiet enough to hear what the body has been saying all night.
