“Say Dunno” is down to earth and could easily belong to Spotify’s “Chilled R&B” editorial playlist. You can hear the hip-hop influences, yet the melody follows an acoustic guitar lick. The song gives a coastal, beachy vibe while also giving you some classic R&B drum beats to bop your head along to. In this song, Frria allows himself to explore personal growth in an easygoing, experimental way. It’s a breath of fresh air regarding subject matter in mainstream pop, and an exciting taste into what’s to come for Frria’s artistry.
