Frettz - Go Ghost (Single)
Frettz – R&B Soul Meets UK Rap on “Go Ghost”
UK R&B artist and rapper Frettz continues to blur the lines between smooth soul and sharp UK rap on his latest single “Go Ghost.” The track captures both the bounce and heartbreak of modern relationships — light in melody yet dark in reflection — and has already passed 100,000 streams since its release on September 11th, 2025.
For Frettz, “Go Ghost” is another standout moment in an already impressive independent journey. With over 10 million total streams, multiple singles crossing a million plays, and four full projects exploring different corners of his artistry, he’s quietly become one of the UK’s most versatile and authentic emerging voices.
The single gives The Weeknd meets Skrapz — an unlikely pairing that Frettz marries seamlessly. Switching between rapping and singing, he performs both the chorus and the verse confidently with the control of an artist deeply in tune with his emotions.
“I met the producer, Birch, online through a video game, believe it or not,” Frettz laughs. “He was showing love to my music and asked to send me a few of his beats. As soon as I heard this one, I instantly had the melody for the chorus patterned. I spent the day refining the lyrics and working on a rap verse with my brother Jay Splitz — this was the final result, and I’m really happy with how it sounds.”
Sonically, “Go Ghost” brings a modern twist to the early-2000s Pharrell Williams sound — rhythmic electric guitar strums, tight hip-hop drums, and a groove that feels nostalgic yet forward-thinking. Its contrast is key: the chorus feels melodic and light, while the verse delivers a darker, more reflective tone, mirroring the emotional push-and-pull that defines Frettz’s storytelling.
“The chorus goes, ‘Where do I go? Taking it to heart when you ghost’,” Frettz explains. “It’s about toxic love and unbalanced relationships — asking a question you know won’t get answered.”
The rap verse brings that reality home:
“I know I promised but I’d still take it back even though it weren’t dishonest,” he raps, before closing with the sobering, “I should sober up, ain’t no hope for us.”
As harmonies lift the final chorus, the emotion swells — “Go Ghost” becomes both an admission and a release.
Before carving out his current sound, Frettz started out producing beats for other artists, eventually stepping into the booth himself. His first major breakthrough came with “Can’t Take It,” his first track to hit over a million streams, followed closely by “Needed Most,” which is now closing in on the same milestone.
His catalogue is rich and evolving: projects like The Patience EP and Work N Progress have each surpassed 1.5 million streams, while more recent bodies of work like True Colours with over a quarter of a million streams and his most recent Ropeburn already pushing 100,000 streams, further displaying his range across genres and moods. Frettz’s ability to move between heartfelt R&B, soulful wave, and gritty UK hip-hop has become a clear defining strength, alongside his ability to produce his own beats, it’s clear from his talent he is on the right path to stardom.
With “Go Ghost,” Frettz cements himself as a dynamic UK artist capable of turning emotional vulnerability into something bold and relatable — soulful yet grounded, experimental yet personal, with that unmistakable UK grit running through every verse.
