CHICAGO’S RISING STAR FRAYNEVIBEZ RETURNS WITH NEW SINGLE ‘SAVIOR’

After a period of creative buildup, Chicago’s own Frayne Vibez returns with his second single, “Savior”—a bold, infectious track that marks a pivotal moment in his artistic journey, set to release on June 13. Check out the Video here!

With major performances already accomplished at festivals like Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza, and fresh off a national tour opening for hip-hop icon Lupe Fiasco, Frayne continues to captivate longtime fans and win over new ones with his magnetic energy and sonic versatility.

“Savior” tells the story of someone who’s spent their life looking for love in all the wrong places, only to realize the right person was there all along. “I’m not trying to be her savior,” Frayne sings in the unforgettable hook, “but I am the one she’s been waiting for.” It’s a track that channels the rush of first love and the nostalgia of teen romance— bright, upbeat, and impossible not to move to.

Raised on a rich blend of musical influences—from the smooth sounds of Sade and Earth, Wind & Fire to the lyricism of Jay-Z and the emotional honesty of artists like Joji and Clairo—Frayne’s sound is a bold and ever-evolving fusion. He calls it urban alternative pop, a genre-blurring style that he brings to life alongside longtime collaborator and Grammy-nominated producer, Kosine.

Frayne’s debut single, “Take It Easy,” dropped early last year, offering a glimpse into his introspective sound. Shot in Chicago, the video reflects the mood of the city and Frayne’s desire to tell honest, grounded stories through his music. As an artist, he’s focused on building a meaningful connection with listeners—especially those who see their own struggles and hopes reflected in his lyrics. He continues to use social media and live performances to grow his audience authentically, one listener at a time.

With his first tour planned for late 2025, Frayne is reimagining his songs for the stage, infusing them with a new sense of presence and purpose. “Savior” is more than just a track—it’s a statement. A forceful reminder that his time is now, and he’s stepping into it wholeheartedly.

Celebrating 65 Years of Mickey’s Drive-In: A Tribute to Chicago’s Culinary Heritage

Here at Mickey’s Drive-In, we’re thrilled to celebrate 65 years of serving the Bellwood community and beyond with the best of Chicago’s classic culinary offerings. Founded in 1959 by Ann Sangiacomo, our little hot dog stand has grown into a beloved staple where generations have gathered to enjoy authentic Chicago style hot dogs, Italian beef sandwiches, and more.

From humble beginnings with just a few hundred dollars, Ann and Mickey transformed a roadside ice cream spot into the go-to place for Chicago-style delights. Our menu slowly grew from hot dogs to include Italian beef, Italian sausage, and meatball sandwiches, each made with love and the fresh ingredients right in front of our customers.

🎉 In celebration, add a drink to any sandwich for just 65 cents!🎉

All through May!

Our commitment to quality and family tradition has never wavered. We take pride in making food as you order, ensuring it’s fresh and exactly to your liking. Seeing our customers return day after day, year after year, tells us we’ve kept true to our mission.

Celebrating this milestone, we remember the early days when a hot dog, fries, and a drink cost just 37 cents with tax. Today, while prices may have changed, our dedication to quality and customer care remains the same.

As we mark 65 years, we invite you to join us in celebrating this special anniversary. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to Mickey’s, we’re excited to share our story and our food with you. Come by, say hello to Mickey Jr. and Frank, and enjoy a meal that’s been a part of Chicago’s history for over six decades.

Thank you for being a part of our journey. Here’s to many more years of delicious memories at Mickey’s Drive-In!
