琴音清亮流轉伴著深情的靈魂唱腔，讓節奏藍調類型音樂全面的融入都會意境，若能帶點異國的動感節拍，還有一點誘惑挑情的韻味就更迷人了!來自墨西哥，現定居於聖地牙哥的Frankie J就是一位讓人動心又能搔到聽覺性感帶的Urban R&B新進歌手！
歌曲成績
Frankie J描述一段難以挽回的分手戀情的首支單曲"Don`t Wanna Try"突破Billboard層層排行關卡，率先攻破Billboard流行單曲銷售榜TOP 10，再克TOP 40電台排行榜TOP 14，最後挺進流行單曲榜TOP 19。。
音樂歷程
Frankie J兩歲時就搬往聖地牙哥居住，祖父與父親都是音樂人的成長環境，讓他從小就喜歡唱歌提供家庭娛樂，西班牙文是他的母語，最早接觸的音樂都是cumbias、rancheras(墨西哥傳統民俗音樂)、bandas(側重銅管樂器的墨西哥舞曲)這些拉丁音樂節奏，不過，Run DMC、Kurtis Blow、The Fat Boys、Michael Jackson、Brian McKnight、Stevie Wonder 、K-Ci & Jo Jo也都是Frankie J的音樂養分泉源。
高校時，開始在校園會場與才藝大賽展露歌藝，15歲時，被加拿大獨立舞曲廠牌挖掘，並定位為拉丁freestyle歌手，幾首單曲推出後，主流大廠開始注意到這個新的聲音，97年被舞曲制作人Jellybean Benitez(麥當娜出道時的制作拍檔)的Hola廠牌網羅，後因廠牌經營不善導致專輯未能正式作發行，99年轉而加入一支德州樂團擔任主唱與創作，更一起做巡回演唱，一唱就是三年半。
而其中像是Billboard拉丁音樂獎典禮場合以及電視節目的演唱更增加了他的曝光率，2002年的冬季，Frankie J作好單飛的准備進錄音室完成專輯《What`s A Man To Do?》。

歌曲介紹
融合節奏藍調情聖的風采，以及使點小小壞的神氣性格，詞曲創作/制作才情兼備的Frankie J與名制作人Jamie Glavez (KC Porter)、Happy Perez (Mystikal, Master P)的首張大碟《What`s A Man To Do?》流露節奏藍調的都會風雅、靈魂深情與性感調調，當然也少不了讓人想舞動手足的嘻哈派對歌。
在以自身戀情經驗為題創作出深切刺痛男人心的分手戀歌"Don`t Wanna Try"觸動全美電台後，另一首挑戰男人愛情感受的標題曲"What`s A Man To Do?"，副歌段落加進搖滾吉他指法，歌中的男主角向心愛的女孩坦白自己越軌的心聲，體現戀愛世界裡的真誠與誘惑。
"Be Home Soon"是Frankie J獻給遠赴伊拉克或任何海外戰線捍衛家園的士官兵的動人情歌，在簡單但深沉的鋼琴/弦樂/吉他/人聲交疊鋪排下，思鄉情切的心境清晰表露，而一張捕捉新男人心情的專輯不該只有分手與愁緒，所以，與饒舌新進Baby Bash合作的"Drinks On Me"就是要讓大伙擺開煩憂，好好舞動腳趾。
睽違兩年，Frankie J終於推出第二張更為精采動聽的新作『The One』，雖然仍以情愛議題搭配抒情的曲調作為專輯主軸，但是加入更多R&B/Hip-Hop甚至Rap的節奏，樂曲律動感更高。
首支單曲Obsession(No Es Amor)於流行單曲榜急速爬升至前10大，在西班牙文的交錯演唱，搭配好友Baby Bash的饒舌助陣，勢必成為Frankie J演唱事業高峰的代表佳作，此曲特別收錄英文與西班牙文兩種抒情版本；同名單曲” The One”，請來甜美三人女子團3LW合唱；展現Frankie J美聲詮釋的抒情佳品”How To Deal”；歡樂嘻哈派對的搭配曲”On The Floor”，邀來饒舌新秀Paul Wall助陣；帶著異國情調的”In The Moment”，強烈討喜的流暢節奏，漸層加入多部合音搭襯，呈現出剛柔並濟的質感。
除了上述動人單曲外，新專輯還收錄成名曲”Don’t Wanna Try”，以及助陣於好友Baby Bash在2004年締造的暢銷曲”Suga Suga”，是喜愛R&B/Hip-Hop的你，萬中選一的必收之作！

How To Deal Lyrics
1st Verse:
Sometimes a man has to choose
And do something he doesnt wanna do
Do i live my life with you as my wife?
Or do i go on and pursue my lifetime dream?
i gotta do this for me
Cuz if I dont I'll probably regret it
But if I do I'll probably regret it
How do I cope?
CHORUS:
How do you cope when
the one you love is with somebody else
And theres nothin you can do about it
How do you deal with
The fact that you had a chance
But you chose to turn away for your career
I gotta take it though its heart-breakin'
Its somethin that I had to do
But nobody said that it would hurt so bad
So how do I live..
How do I deal without you
2nd Verse:
Its killing me to know
That your heart's with me
But you're with him cuz I chose to be
In this industry
Money, shows and hoes come along with
Luxury and pain
Is all you see when you think about it
But this is the life
That I was given
So i have to live it to the fullest
But how do I deal in the meantime
Without you
[CHORUS]
SOLO:
How do you deal when
you can't be with the one you love
And the one that you love is with somebody else
(I don't know, I don't know)
And what do you do
when you know she don't love him
and she loves me but she just can't stand loving you far away
(I guess I'm gonna have to just)
You just deal with it, deal with it
(I don't want to have to live with it)
You just deal with it, deal with it
(no, no, no)
You just deal with it, deal with it
(I don't want nobody else loving you)
You just deal with it, deal with it
(I don't want nobody else loving me)
[CHORUS 2X]
Don't Wanna Try Lyrics
Don’t Wanna try, don’t wanna try( try)
Don’t wanna try no more( try no more)
Don’t wanna try, don’t wanna try, don’t wanna try no more (don’t wanna try no more)ooh
I cant believe you had the nerve to say the things you said
They hurt so bad that they ended our Relationship
I cant believe it four years gone down the drain
How I wished things woulda happened so differently
I tried to say this many times but still you couldn’t see
You kept insisting, and resisting that you would not fall again
[Chorus]
And now u trying to tell me that you're sorry and you're trying to come back home
You're telling me you really need me crying, begging, both knees are on the floor
But Baby I.…
Don’t wanna try, Don’t wanna try, Don’t wanna try no more
You keep insisting when u know our love is out the door
Don’t wanna try, Don’t wanna try cause all we do is fight
And say the things that hurt you bad to where we both begin to cry
Don’t wanna try, Don’t wanna try I ‘bout just had enough
Its been a rough road baby just let it go
Don’t wanna try, Don’t wanna try, Don’t wanna try no more
Tell me what‘s the use of holding on when all we do is hurt our love
You and I had many conversations on the telephone
Talks about one day we having a place of our own
Wake up in the morning and have breakfast ready on the table
But all of that just seems so Far away from me
Had to wake up, face reality
It all just seemed to good to be true
After all you put me through
(Chorus)
Don’t Wanna try, don’t wanna try( try)
Don’t wanna try no more( try no more)
Don’t wanna try, don’t wanna try (try) oh oh (oh oh )
Don’t wanna try, don’t wanna try (try), don’t wanna try no more (don’t wanna try no
more) Don’t wanna try, don’t wanna try, don’t wanna try no more (try no more)(try no more) oh oh
