Following up on a rather productive 2022, British Alt-Pop-Rock outfit Between The Frames returns with brand new single ‘Chin Up Kid’, a strong hymn of empowerment and resilience.
The record is the confirmation of the project’s songwriting prowess, able to craft engaging, memorable and catchy melodies serving up uplifting and dynamic lyricism. Having a relatively short career behind him, Between The Frames was quick to showcase his signature sound. Some might define it as ‘arena-pop’. Sure, you could sing his songs out loud in a giant stadium, and it would work. But also, there is a more intimate and introspective component, with the project taking a liking to the exploration of human nature and relationship challenges.
That’s exactly this last theme that strongly resonates in ‘Chin Up Kid’. In it, the listener will find both hidden poignancy and strong drive, drawing a heartbreak scenario where one might be really struggling. The lyrical message is clear: it will get better, just keep it steady, take care of yourself, and spend time with friends. Modern indie-pop meets rocky tones, in a tune that feels modern yet firmly planted in tradition.
Interestingly, the demo of the track was first published on TikTok: is this a potentially new way to teaser material? The move was very useful for Between The Frames, who decided to release the record right after receiving positive feedback on the short-video app.
