Shaun Frank is one of those names you should be taking note of as we move into 2017. The multi-talented producer established himself as a force to be reckoned with on a number of top notch singles throughout the year, catching listeners by the ear with his catchy brand of dancefloor magic. His collaboration with DVBBS and Delaney Jane on “La La Land” proved a hit in its own right, while Frank also helped to pen one of the biggest songs of the year, “Closer” by The Chainsmokers.

His pair up with vocalist Ashe on “Let You Get Away” is a memorable outing that sports as much radio appeal as it does dancefloor sheen. Shaun Frank is no stranger to getting the most out of a pop hook, and he crafts an enticing production behind Ashe’s voice, filling the mix with upbeat hip hop rhythms and wiggly synth plucks, before nosediving into rowdy trap drops with quirky horn samples.
