The response was overwhelmingly positive, with thousands of views on the<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/ccLMtBM_0ZY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> YouTube recap<\/a> and a comment section flooded with, \u201cAnyone know what the name of this song is?\u201d \u2014 not to mention shots of T-Swift bobbing her head in the audience.

There\u2019s a lot of inspiration out there as far as pop goes &#8212; a lot of mine just came from listening to what\u2019s hot.\u201d The result of Graham\u2019s inspiration: an energetic ode to making the most of summer, with an infectious energy that could make even a Swiss Guard dance.<\/p>\n<p>   <iframe data-src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ccLMtBM_0ZY?wmode=opaque&amp;enablejsapi=1\" height=\"480\" width=\"854\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><br \/>\n<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">For artists, such as Frankie and Graham, an opportunity to hear one\u2019s voice on an international stage doesn\u2019t present itself that often, if ever. And although Graham has written hundreds of songs for various forms of media, \u201cLiving It Up in the Summer\u201d was his first time composing a song that made it to the runway. \u201cA lot of the time the projects I make music for are 30 seconds here or 60 seconds there\u2026 these are the kinds of opportunities I like to see happening for sure,\u201d Graham says. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Ranging from art installations and dance performances to high-profile fashion shows, the chance to pair music with live art appears vast and waiting to be uncovered. As Graham and Frankie suggest, performance art seems to be an alternative avenue for indie artists to get their music heard.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong><em>\u201cIt\u2019s a huge market for incredible music to be showcased and for a lot of people to hear it,\u201d Frankie mused. In response, Graham agreed, \u201cI think there\u2019s always some way for two art forms to synch up.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">While \u201cLiving It up in the Summer\u201d is behind them but as far as Distance goes, expect to hear more danceable, infectious tracks from these two in the near future. They have a range of different projects in the works and we can\u2019t wait to see what they do next<\/p>\n<div class=\"sqs-block-button-container--center\" data-animation-role=\"button\" data-alignment=\"center\" data-button-size=\"medium\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/artists\/distance\" class=\"sqs-block-button-element--medium sqs-block-button-element\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">License Distance<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sqs-svg-icon--outer social-icon-alignment-center social-icons-color-black social-icons-size-large social-icons-shape-circle social-icons-style-border\" >\n<nav class=\"sqs-svg-icon--list\">\n    <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MarmosetMusic\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"sqs-svg-icon--wrapper facebook\" aria-label=\"Marmoset\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/p>\n<div>\n        <svg class=\"sqs-svg-icon--social\" viewBox=\"0 0 64 64\">\n          <use class=\"sqs-use--icon\" xlink:href=\"#facebook-icon\"><\/use>\n          <use class=\"sqs-use--mask\" xlink:href=\"#facebook-mask\"><\/use>\n        <\/svg>\n      <\/div>\n<p>    <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/marmosetmusic\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"sqs-svg-icon--wrapper twitter-unauth\" aria-label=\"Twitter\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/p>\n<div>\n        <svg class=\"sqs-svg-icon--social\" viewBox=\"0 0 64 64\">\n          <use class=\"sqs-use--icon\" xlink:href=\"#twitter-unauth-icon\"><\/use>\n          <use class=\"sqs-use--mask\" xlink:href=\"#twitter-unauth-mask\"><\/use>\n        <\/svg>\n      <\/div>\n<p>    <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/marmosetmusic\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"sqs-svg-icon--wrapper vimeo\" aria-label=\"marmoset\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/p>\n<div>\n        <svg class=\"sqs-svg-icon--social\" viewBox=\"0 0 64 64\">\n          <use class=\"sqs-use--icon\" xlink:href=\"#vimeo-icon\"><\/use>\n          <use class=\"sqs-use--mask\" xlink:href=\"#vimeo-mask\"><\/use>\n        <\/svg>\n      <\/div>\n<p>    <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC6_Fa0ef9xGRvs9aFp6mnww\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"sqs-svg-icon--wrapper youtube\" aria-label=\"marmosetmusic\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/p>\n<div>\n        <svg class=\"sqs-svg-icon--social\" viewBox=\"0 0 64 64\">\n          <use class=\"sqs-use--icon\" xlink:href=\"#youtube-icon\"><\/use>\n          <use class=\"sqs-use--mask\" xlink:href=\"#youtube-mask\"><\/use>\n        <\/svg>\n      <\/div>\n<p>    <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/marmosetmusic\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"sqs-svg-icon--wrapper instagram\" aria-label=\"Marmoset\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/p>\n<div>\n        <svg class=\"sqs-svg-icon--social\" viewBox=\"0 0 64 64\">\n          <use class=\"sqs-use--icon\" xlink:href=\"#instagram-icon\"><\/use>\n          <use class=\"sqs-use--mask\" xlink:href=\"#instagram-mask\"><\/use>\n        <\/svg>\n      <\/div>\n<p>    <\/a><br \/>\n  <\/nav>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a company that revolves around a common love of music, it may not come&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3213","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music","has-excerpt"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3213","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3213"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3213\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3213"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3213"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3213"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
