Exclusive video premiere of ‘Necessary Evil’ by Frank Viele, from the upcoming album ‘The Trouble With Desire,’ slated for release on February 7, 2025.

So far this year, Frank Viele has shared three tracks from his forthcoming album, ‘The Trouble With Desire’: ‘Mountains We Can Climb,’ ‘Sleepless Nights Alone’ and ‘Lo-fi Goodbye.’ To further introduce the project, Viele returns today with his newest cut from the forthcoming LP, ‘Necessary Evil,’ along with an accompanying animated lyric video. The video for ‘Mountains We Can Climb,’ released in January, was made to look like a video game and ‘Necessary Evil’ is level 2 of the game. Watch them back to back, and you’ll find the game picks up exactly where it left off.

Viele takes us behind the scenes to describe the meaning behind his new single saying, ‘Necessary Evil’ is a song that came from a special place in my own journey and became a story of self doubt through the main character’s eventual embrace of empathy. Human existence brings both monumental joy and crushing heartache… Love becomes real, nature speaks differently, music can bring tears to your eyes, an embrace from the one you cherish can truly make your knees tremble. Honest empathetic connection with other living beings is the greatest thing this planet has to offer but it comes with a lot of sadness and heaviness sometimes. One might say that it’s a heavy heart to carry but a necessary evil.”

‘The Trouble With Desire’ is currently available for pre-order on vinyl on Frank Viele’s official website. Everyone who buys the vinyl gets a download code sent to them immediately to download the record in full, including additional bonus tracks. The vinyl ships the end of July and will be available at live shows starting in August.
