Genre lines were made to be blurred—and on Turn Him Loose, JOSH FR3DA obliterates them with a wink and a guitar riff. His debut EP doesn’t just step onto the scene; it bursts through the door like a rhinestone-studded rocket, unapologetically loud and radically honest. Anchored by the irresistibly cheeky “Does My Ass Look Good in These Pants?”, this six-track collection is as bold as it is refreshingly human.
FR3DA’s sound is a kaleidoscope of influences: the glam-rock theatrics of Queen, the twangy joy of Shania Twain, and the emotional grit of Bonnie Raitt—all dialed up with the arena-worthy polish of Aerosmith. Yet even with all these familiar flavors, Turn Him Loose is wholly original. Every song radiates confidence, curiosity, and courage, offering a welcome punch of personality in an industry that too often plays it safe.
“Does My Ass Look Good in These Pants?” is more than a provocative title—it’s a strut-down-the-street anthem for anyone who’s ever questioned their reflection. It’s a celebration of self-love that’s both playful and profound, challenging norms while inviting everyone to dance along. From the opening beat, it’s clear FR3DA isn’t here to ask for space—he’s carving his own runway.
The EP’s themes are personal yet universally resonant. Songs tackle identity, body image, and coming out, without ever losing their sense of humor or heart. FR3DA invites listeners into his world with honesty and charisma, singing what so many are too afraid to say. “If it resonates with someone else, awesome,” he says—and it does, in spades.
With powerhouse collaborators and an unstoppable drive, JOSH FR3DA is poised to shake up the music scene. Turn Him Loose is more than a debut—it’s a mission statement, a manifesto, and a damn good time. Watch this space: FR3DA isn’t just turning heads—he’s turning the volume way, way up.
