FRIDAYY Tickets

As we endure losses and wins, sadness and happiness, ups and downs, and sunshine and rain, the duality of life molds us into who we are. Fridayy explores these extremes on his double LP, Some Days I'm Good, Some Days I'm Not [Def Jam Recordings]. Across the album, there are moments of triumphant celebration, but there are also instances of intense introspection. For as much love as he feels, he simultaneously confronts loss head-on. Helming this body of work as its primary producer and writer once again, the music mirrors a similar ebb and flow, tracing a sonic roadmap through hip-hop, R&B, gospel, pop, and Haitian stylings. The three-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated multiplatinum singer, songwriter, producer, and creator delivers a passionate, personal, and powerful statement throughout 21 songs.

"In the past two years, so much happened in my life that it would've been hard to just make a short album," he states. "I kept telling stories. It's crazy how at the highest point of your life something can bring you down so low. I'd been winning for a whole year, but it doesn't feel the same because my dad passed when I was on a world tour. It's bittersweet. Sometimes, I wake up and I'm happy with my success. Other times, I wake up and say, 'Fuck this. I just want to see my dad'. That's why I named the album Some Days I'm Good, Some Days I'm Not."

Encouraged by his late father, Fridayy not only picked up piano, guitar, drums, trumpet, and bass as a kid, but he also honed his chops as part of a church choir. Learning production, he quietly grinded by sharing music online and building an audience as a teen. All of this experience prepared him for a major moment in 2022 when he appeared on DJ Khaled's blockbuster "God Did" [feat. Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, John Legend, & Fridayy]. It cracked the Top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100, earned a Gold certification from the RIAA, and garnered three GRAMMY® Award nominations in the categories of "Song of the Year," "Best Rap Song," and "Best Rap Performance." He lent his voice to Lil Baby's Platinum-certified "Forever," which vaulted into the Top 10 of the Hot 100. Fridayy's Platinum-certified solo single "When It Comes To You" paved the way for his acclaimed 2023 self-titled debut, Fridayy. He emerged as the rare dynamo equally comfortable on a track with either Swedish House Mafia, DJ Snake, and The Chainsmokers or Will Smith, Glorilla, and Chloe. Not to mention, he expanded his discography as a producer and songwriter, collaborating behind-the-scenes with everyone from Lil Baby and Chris Brown to Lil Tjay and Rod Wave. Building the framework for the double-album out of a home studio, he pondered the highs and lows of his whirlwind rise.

"My debut was about how I felt when I stepped into the game," he notes. "This album is about a lot of the shit I'm facing being here. Once you get famous, everyone's looking for a handout. You've got to separate yourself from many of the people who you used to be with. When I lost my dad, I didn't understand the reason. He did everything for me. He got me piano lessons at four-years-old and made me join school band. He introduced me to music to keep me out of the streets. I love music because of him. As the album came together, I started speaking from a place of understanding."

He initially teased Some Days I'm Good, Some Days I'm Not with fan favorites such as "Baddest In The Room" and "Back To You," gathering tens of millions of streams. The single "February '23" clearly illuminates his evolution as an artist. The track's icy piano amplifies the emotion of his bold croon. Pulling listeners into the moment next to him, he vividly recalls pivotal memories of his come-up. Embracing the failures, he treasures newfound wisdom, "I took too many L's. Ain't never take it as a loss. I took it as a lesson."

"That song goes into what I was thinking when I was at the GRAMMYS®," he says. "I'm describing the whole night in detail and how it felt to lose at the show, but still being grateful I was there. It's about how far I've come."

Piano quakes through "Proud Of Me" [feat. Meek Mill]. Fridayy's voice echoes with palpable emotion as he wrestles with complex feelings out loud, "I lost my soul when I lost my daddy...I know you proud of me, look at all the shit I prevailed." Tapping into the same energy, Meek pulls up with hard-hitting and hungry bars practically devouring the production.

"I was talking about my dad," he reveals. "Meek immediately responded to it. He lost his father as a kid, so he's tackling it from a different perspective. I think anybody who's lost somebody can relate. It's one of my favorites."

Then, there's "Save My Love" [feat. Kehlani]. Keys shimmer as his vocals effortlessly float above a head-nodding acoustic guitar line. Kehlani leans on the beat with a slick verse before locking into a heartfelt harmony with Fridayy.

"I never had a female on a record, and I was waiting for the right person," he goes on. "I knew Kehlani could bring this swaggy approach. Our voices sound great together."

"Shotgun" comes loaded with a sultry bass drip and slippery beat perfectly suited to its quotable Wale cameo. Channeling his roots, Fridayy delivers the bilingual "Bezwen Ou" [feat. Joe Dwet File], paying homage to Haiti's traditional Compa genre. The title translates to "Need You" in Creole, and its island-inspired groove doubles as the perfect backdrop for a call-and-response between Fridayy and Joe.

"Compa is such a beautiful style, but it's not mainstream in America yet," he observes. "It's special for my culture to have 'Bezwen Ou' on the record. Shout out to Joe Dwet File! Since my parents came from Haiti and created me here, it's full circle."

In the end, Fridayy continues to break boundaries and connect.

"There's no lane I can't touch at a high level," he leaves off. "I'll give you a life record, an uplifting record, an R&B love song, a rap song, or a pop song. I feel like I can do anything and just want to reach this to as many ears as possible."
