The Fray Is Back

Making new music is inevitably difficult, as artists and bands seem to "disappear" from the music scene for some time. The Fray gained popularity with their How To Save a Life album but have otherwise lost touch with the public. However, they recently came out with a new single called "Heartbeat," which is part of their new album Scars & Stories. Their album is scheduled to be released by Epic Records on February 7, 2012. The group will begin a series of television appearances on October 27 in order to publicize their new album.

Lead singer, Isaac Slade says that the inspiration for "Heartbeat" came from his travels to South Africa and Rwanda. He wanted to stay open to anything that came his way, and he was especially inspired by an expatriate woman there. As a result of his experiences in Africa, Slade was able to come up with the lyrics and melodies of songs on Scars & Stories. The Fray did not hold back on their third album, and I am excited to hear new music from this popular group.
