THE FRAY - You Found Me
| Billboard |
| Most acts look at ABC's "Grey's Anatomy" as a potential launching pad, but the introduction of the Fray's new single during a commercial break promoting the network's jumped-the-shark "Lost" on Nov. 20 represents a switcheroo: a TV event for fans to tune in to their first exposure of the Grammy Award-nominated quartet's sophomore effort (and then immediately purchase the song on iTunes). The table was neatly set with 2005 Billboard Hot 100 No. 8 hit "Over My Head (Cable Car)" and follow-up "How to Save a Life," which saturated pop culture in 2006, reaching No. 3 on the Hot 100 and No. 1 on the AC, adult top 40 and Hot Digital Songs charts. Piano-driven "You Found Me" serves a meatier rock main course, moving between verses from ballad to uptempo, with a chorus that is plenty sticky—but the song takes advantage of prophesied airplay with a complex, intelligent melodic design that darts in unexpected directions. A live performance Nov. 23 at the American Music Awards will further lock in interest for one of the few absolutes in first-quarter 2009. —Chuck Taylor...full text |

Debuted November 20 during the airing of "Grey's Anatomy" is the promo video of "Lost" that features the new single from The Fray. The video that is produced by ABC and Epic Records combines exclusive scenes from the upcoming fifth season of the drama thriller series plus the band's live performance footage on "You Found Me". Rooting from their successful debut album "How to Save a Life" (2005), The Fray will drop their self-titled sophomore effort on February 3, 2009 with "You Found Me" as the lead single. "The record definitely has some isolation and loneliness rolled into the fabric of the sound and lyrics," frontman Isaac Slade explains. "We'd been gone from our family and friends for more time than we'd been home. You start to lose sight of priorities and lose sight of balance and you don't really have the luxury of a routine. When that happens, naturally it comes out in the music."...full text |
