FOLLOWS UP “TOUCHDOWN” AND “THE GOOD & THE BAD,” FIRST SINGLES FROM NEW PROJECT SLATED FOR 2024 RELEASE
L.A.-BASED CALABASAS ALT-POP DUO FUSES HIP-HOP, ROCK, R&B, AND ELECTRONIC MUSIC ON CHART HITS SINCE 2020
Jan. 19, 2024 – Calabasas, the Los Angeles-based duo of Franskiiz and Watrcup, are speeding like a cannonball on “Goin, Goin, Gone” their brand new single available at all platforms today via Def Jam Recordings. “Goin, Goin, Gone” is the latest track from the upcoming new project from Calabasas slated for release this year.
“Goin, Goin, Gone for us is about that ‘look in the mirror after you’ve had one too many’ type feelings. It’s about being able to cut through all the BS because we might be a little bit lit and we just wanna have a good time. We are here for a good time and if it’s not real then it’s on to the next.”
“Goin, Goin, Gone” is the follow-up to “The Good & The Bad” (November), and the “Touchdown” single + video released by Calabasas in October. Prior to its single release, “Touchdown” was already the subject of massive interest and excitement from Calabasas fans on TikTok, with nearly 2 million combined views of their acoustic version of the song. A special acoustic version of “Touchdown” was released on December 15th.
“‘Touchdown’ represents a new chapter for us sonically and in our lives,” commented the duo when the track first arrived. “It feels like we are ready to turn the page and take the next step with Calabasas to bring the fans something more evolved from what we’ve been. This is the first song where we feel like our chemistry is highlighted to its best and we know it’s a great representation of who we are right now.”
When “‘The Good & The Bad’ was released a few weeks later, they described it as, “the first song we ever made as a duo. It’s been with us since the beginning of the Calabasas project so it feels a little bit more sentimental than most records. We struggled for a long time on whether we wanted to drop it or not but it feels good to be getting it out there. We want the world to hear it.”
“Touchdown” followed up “Hello” (June), a yearning orchestral plea for young love by Calabasas – “I really really want to get to know her” – that was featured prominently in Ruby Gillman Teenage Kraken, the heartfelt action comedy from DreamWorks Animation. The film starred the voices of Lana Condor, Jaboukie Young-White, Toni Collette, Jane Fonda, Annie Murphy, and more.
Earlier last year, Calabasas joined 5 billion-streaming bilingual, multicultural, next gen pop singer Trinidad Cardona for “Gentle.” The track, said Calabasas, “represents everything we are going through right now, just not trying to force anything. Letting things come to us naturally. The session with Trinidad was exactly that, just free flowing, and felt right from the very beginning.”
