FRGN-SPCMN have returned with their latest offering, RIDE AROUND THE SUN which released on 18 October. RIDE AROUND THE SUN is an 18-track album showcasing the duo’s ability to merge elements of hip hop, experimental textures as well as R&B.
The North Carolina-based pair have already made waves in the industry with contributions to the soundtrack of the iconic series Insecure by Issa Rae, as well as placements for artists such as Coast Contra and Lance Skiiiwalker (TDE).
The album holds a laid-back, late-night cruising vibe, driven by silken tempos and atmospheric soundscapes. The title track, featuring Mez and Ace Henderson serves as the heartbeat of the album, and is accompanied by an animated music video directed by Kieran Ionescu. On the title track the duo revealed: “It talks about the ideas of pain and pleasure throughout our lives and how you can’t have one without the other. The combination of both feelings is what describes our lives and the ride around the sun.”

The inspiration behind the album came from a lifechanging trip to Joshua Tree, California, where they were captivated by the vast, open desert. FRGN-SPCMN shared; “the idea behind this album is that everyone on this planet has a unique story. Even with our different paths in life, the one thing that we all have in common is that we are all navigating the chaos of human existence together, sharing this endless ride around the sun.”
