Frankie Grande, the multi-talented performer known for his work on stage, screen, and as an outspoken advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, is stepping into the music scene with his debut single, Rhythm of Love. Released via Casablanca Records / Republic Records, the track signals the arrival of his first full-length album, set to drop in Summer 2025.
Grande’s debut single is a powerful statement, blending infectious beats with a radiant sense of hope and optimism. Rhythm of Love was co-written by Grande alongside Alex Chapman (notable for his work with Kim Petras and Charli XCX), NOVDOR (known for collaborations with Troye Sivan and Charli XCX), Neil Ormandy (James Arthur), and Molly Irvine. The track’s production, helmed by Prince Fox and NOVDOR, gives it a fresh and energetic pulse perfect for dance floors and Pride celebrations alike.
Despite drawing from some dark inspirations, Rhythm of Love shimmers with an undeniable joy. The song’s driving rhythm and upbeat melody make it destined to become a standout track in LGBTQ+ spaces and beyond. As the song’s pulsating chorus declares, “It’s your rhythm of love that’s lifting me up deep into the night.“
The single’s release is accompanied by a vibrant music video directed by Austin Nunes, known for his work with Troye Sivan. Filmed at New York City’s iconic nightclub The Box, the video plunges viewers into a wild, unforgettable night led by Grande himself. The visuals are packed with dazzling choreography, stunning fashion, and nonstop energy. Grande commands the screen with a presence that captures both his theatrical background and newfound pop-star prowess.
Frankie Grande’s journey to this debut single has been years in the making. While he’s widely recognized for his Broadway performances, reality TV appearances, and family ties to global pop star Ariana Grande, his musical career has long been bubbling under the surface. According to Republic Records President and Chief Creative Officer Wendy Goldstein, hearing Frankie’s songs for the first time was a revelation. “I just remember playing the songs for Wendy in the studio and being like, what is happening? I didn’t know I had it in me. I didn’t know it was possible,” Grande recalled.
For Grande’s fans, this moment has been a long time coming—and it arrives at the perfect time. With his vibrant personality, heartfelt storytelling, and unshakable positivity, Rhythm of Love is poised to become an LGBTQ+ anthem. Whether you’re hitting the dance floor, celebrating Pride, or just looking for a feel-good jam, Frankie Grande’s latest release is sure to leave you moving to the beat.
