Back then he was still known as Justin Waddell, but, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.huffpost.com\/entry\/american-idols-final-3-fr_b_9739988\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.huffpost.com\/entry\/american-idols-final-3-fr_b_9739988\" target=\"_blank\">in his own words<\/a>, &#8220;the market was saturated with Justins&#8221;, and so he went for something that would stand out more. It&#8217;s not been an easy ride for Frankee; although his talent brought him rapid success, it was matched with his inner struggles. Finally however, after several years of growth and self-exploration, Frankee is returning to the music world with his signature positive energy and good vibes.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Frankee&#8217;s new single, &#8216;Today I&#8217;m Gonna Friday&#8217; is sure to strike a chord with many, and the track will definitely be a hit, bringing the Friday energy to any and every day of the week. With a chill beat, Frankee establishes his plan for keeping things low-key and making every day a celebration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The music video for &#8216;Today I&#8217;m Gonna Friday&#8217;, directed by Jowan Carbin, sees Frankee dressed as a janitor, mopping up a sound stage. Suddenly, he realises it&#8217;s the best day of the week, and he comes to life, launching into a dance sequence worthy of a TikTok trend, accompanied by his co-star Kiya Cole, transitioning between his janitor outfit, flashy and stylish Friday clothes. &#8216;Today I&#8217;m Gonna Friday&#8217; is definitely going to get you smiling and dancing along with Frankee Razor &#8211; any day or night of the week.<br><br>Watch the music video for &#8216;Today I&#8217;m Gonna Friday&#8217; below, and find out more about Frankee Razor and his music online on his official <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/FrankeeRazor.com\" target=\"_blank\">website<\/a>, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/FrankeeRazorOfficial\/\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/frankeerazor\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>, and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/frankeerazor\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><div  style=\"display: block;
