At just 18 years old, Aidan Frenkel delivers a debut that feels startlingly seasoned in its honesty. ‘No Peace’ strips away the gloss of studio trickery, leaving only a fragile voice, a barebones arrangement, and the weight of a restless mind.

‘Delay Deny Depose’- Make Believe Love Levels Up Protest Pop on the Bittersweet Bite of new single
With his latest offering ‘Delay Deny Depose’, Make Believe Love turns political outrage into punk-rooted, pixelated theatre, proving protest music can be as playful as it is piercing.
