Rising R&B sensation Zae France makes his official Def Jam Recordings debut in collaboration with Compound Entertainment with the release of his new single “What It Do” featuring Fridayy (“GOD DID,” “Forever”). The Bizness Boi & Fortune Beats produced track takes listeners on a smooth, sonically soaring ride that bridges, at once, the new wave of R&B and the rawness and flavor of traditional R&B.
Zae further shares, “What It Do has elements of what people are used to with the Zae France sound while introducing a newer sound that my day-one fans and new fans can vibe with. I’ve known Fridayy for a while, so working with him on this was organic and natural— we cooked up something with Bizness Boi & Fortune Beats that’s going to set the vibe for the rest of the year and show that the fellas got something to say too.”
Embarking in the next chapter of dominance within the space of R&B and beyond, Zae France’s reception leading to this point has continued to make waves globally, having just wrapped Ne-Yo’s U.K. tour last year and three sold-out shows in Los Angeles, Atlanta, and New York City. The North Carolina native has created a fan base over the years that attest to his overall range as a powerhouse artist and an all-around entertainer with his sensational live performances. Today, what also stands as the day of love, Valentine’s Day, Zae sets the stage for his annual Valentine’s Day performance taking place this year at The Bronze Peacock at House of Blues in Houston, TX.
