She starts out with blood on her face; we wonder what&#8217;s happened. Next shot she&#8217;s entered a house, and explores it inside. There&#8217;s no blood on her face, as yet. Interspersed between her shots, we see Freddy singing behind the mic, his powerful voice telling the story of the girl &#8211; she&#8217;s a real troublemaker.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Someone enters the house, the girl finds knife. She&#8217;s not meant to be there. We don&#8217;t know what happens next but we see her running in the woods, covered in blood. This girl is definitely trouble. She encounters a figure in black&#8230;it&#8217;s the perfect match for Freddy&#8217;s upbeat track, and leaves us wanting more.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can check Freddy Hale out online on his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freddyhale.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">official website<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/freddyhalemusic\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pg\/freddyhalemusic\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/freddyhale\/\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>. &#8216;Troublemaker&#8217; is available to download from <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/album\/troublemaker-single\/id1199931501\" target=\"_blank\">iTunes<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/music\/album\/Freddy_Hale_Troublemaker?id=Bb6iplutkxw3qvxs2arojt3exee\" target=\"_blank\">Google Play Store<\/a>, and stream on <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/6dCQIbDBovU5XEQZQGrcjq\" target=\"_blank\">Spotify<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_73393\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tP5pS6MxX0A?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"Freddy Hale - Troublemaker\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/tP5pS6MxX0A\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Swedish-American singer songwriter Freddy Hale has a voice that&#8217;s a blend of Frank Ocean and James Morrison, and blends modern R&#038;B with pop to create glorious music.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":26003,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[57,9,640],"tags":[7803,9261,6301,27,77,370,226,240,9263,9262,81],"class_list":["post-26000","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-artists","category-new-releases","category-videos","tag-frank-ocean","tag-freddy-hale","tag-james-morrison","tag-los-angeles","tag-new-release","tag-new-single","tag-pop","tag-rb","tag-swedish-american","tag-troublemaker","tag-video"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5yMhl-6Lm","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":90892,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2025\/05\/freddy-even-lays-his-heart-on-the-line-with-his-single-all-i-want\/","url_meta":{"origin":26000,"position":0},"title":"Freddy\u00a0Even\u00a0Lays His Heart On The Line With His Single, &#8216;All I Want&#8217;","author":"Lisa Hafey","date":"08\/05\/2025","format":false,"excerpt":"Released on December 13, 2024, 'All I Want' is the hotly anticipated single from Freddy Even.
