Just Matthew, Just Rap!

Download Torrent!

We are proud to present our new FrostWire promoted artist! He’s from Los Angeles and he is ready to bring us good rap! Matthew released with us his EP named Connery: an incredible mix of emotions and sounds.

2016-03-21 14.35.49

Connery sees Just Matthew creating music as a vessel for honest introspection and sharing his personal experiences. The record’s second track, Prototype, presents him telling us of his struggles and dreams as an upcoming musician, while Understand It is a vocalization of the various emotions floating around in Matthew’s head now that he’s in the “rap game”. The EP also gives us an equal amount of Matthew’s flirtatious side. He appears to be at his sweetest on Forget, where he urges a woman to get past her ungrateful boyfriend and come to him instead, who would treat her right.

Music of the Week #7

A new Music of the Week is ready! Listen to this incredible three music bands. If you like Electro, Rock or Soul, this is for you!.

  1. The Code

    ThE-CODE
    #FrostWirePromotion #Electronic
    The Code are rather fascinated with enigma. Their album cover is a stark white image of a cassette tape, their website and social media accounts do not reveal much about them, and their name as well, is a term associated with secrecy. Perhaps it is to focus all attention to their work rather than themselves, but there is a charm to this air of anonymity which also lingers in their music, intentionally or not.

  2. The Stone Foxes: Bears & Bulls

    thestonefoxes#Alternative #Rock #Blues #Indie
    Hailing from San Francisco, CA, The Stone Foxes has already made their name in the indie music landscape throug smooth blues mixed fused with a spicy kick of alternative rock. Stone Foxes consists of Shannon Koehler, Elliott Peltzman, Vince Dewald, Ben Andrews, Brian Bakalian, and Spence Koehler.

  3. Kiki Rowe

    kikirowe
    #Pop #Soul
    Toronto-based songstress Kiki Rowe might be a newcomer on the music scene, but that doesn’t mean that Kiki Rowe (Keandra Shan Lal) is not slowing down when it comes to great music. Kiki Rowe has been making waves in the indie landscape, and with the release of her self-titled album, the 19-year-old has formally debuted her journey to the music world.

HOW TO INSTALL FROSTWIRE PLUS?

We’re Officially Dropping Support for Windows XP

Today we’re officially dropping support for Windows XP.

The number of issues that arise as technology moves forward which are no longer addressed by Microsoft, who already dropped support for Windows XP 5 years ago, along with a very small XP user base (our estimates are less than 5%) are the reasons going forward with this decision.

FrostWire will still be working on Windows XP, but we’re focusing on the other versions of that OS.

For now we’ll be focused on supporting and fixing all issues arising in the following operating systems:

  • Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10.
  • Mac OSX 10.7 (Lion) or later (64-bit)
  • Linux Ubuntu (.deb based distributions) and Red Hat descendants.
  • Android +4.0.3.
