Frida and The Mann have officially arrived with their debut single “Dancing in the Sun” and it’s a track that feels both powerful and deeply personal. The Cleveland-based band has already made a name for themselves locally, and this first release shows exactly why people are paying attention.
Frida’s voice is rich and full of emotion, carrying the song with an energy that’s hard to ignore. Knowing her story makes the performance hit even harder, she only started singing a few years ago after leaving an orthodox community where she wasn’t allowed to sing at all. That raw determination and freedom come through in every note, and you can feel that she’s not just singing, she’s living the music.
The band behind her supports her vocals with polished and dynamic instrumentation, bringing a solid mix of indie rock and alt-pop energy. The production is clean, the melodies are catchy and the chorus has that undeniable hook that sticks in your head long after the track ends.
“Dancing in the Sun” dives into the theme of disassociation, but it does so with uplifting energy, which makes it both thought-provoking and easy to get lost in. It’s the kind of song you play on repeat without realizing it. We love how much passion and honesty this band puts into their music. It feels like the start of something really special, and we’re excited to see what comes next from Frida and The Mann.
ABOUT THE BAND:
Emerging in 2024 from Cleveland, OH, Frida and The Mann blends alternative rock and indie pop into a genre-defying sound.
From Frida and the Mann’s Inception, the goal was simple. Make music that people can feel. Be unapologetic. Be raw. Be true. This band from Cleveland, OH was formed in mid 2023 by Frida Mann (vocals) Adam Cramer (guitars) and Zachary Horstman (drums) while in someone else’s basement, in a small space, with big dreams. Shortly thereafter, Stefan Johnson (bass/vocals) joined to complete the sonic landscape.
Now winners of the 2024 Cleveland Music Awards Best New Artist, they are emerging as one of the most unique sounding musical artists in Cleveland. Their alternative atmospheric pop-rock sound hits hard as you feel every turn of the rollercoaster songs in your body because it’s straight from their soul. F+TM will be releasing 6 songs by the end of 2025 with their first release “Dancing in the Sun” releasing on 9-26-25 on all streaming platforms!
