Ho Jo Fro, the brainchild of Paul R Johnson, presents their exciting new single “Timidly Free”. This energizing and melodic track boldly conveys a political message, captivating listeners with its unmistakable 70’s Pop Rock sound. Out now!
Based in Charlottesville, Virginia, Ho Jo Fro is the alter ego of Paul R Johnson, a visionary musician who has assembled an exceptional group of talent, including Tim Ryan, Alton Prillaman, Iyla Elise, and Jim Ralston. With the renowned international recording artist Dean Friedman contributing his powerful vocals, they have crafted the unforgettable track “Timidly Free.”
Described as a testament to the creative process and the power of collaboration, this new release captivates listeners not only through its beautiful instrumental and melodies, but through its heartfelt lyricism as well.
“Timidly Free” draws powerful inspiration from the turbulent political climate of November 2024, leading Paul R Johnson to deliver a compelling message of hope and resilience through his music, celebrating Kamala Harris and her remarkable tenacity as a fighter.
“She is a warrior in the battle of her life,” Paul confidently states. While he aimed for subtlety, “Timidly Free” undeniably serves as Paul Johnson’s response to “Hey Jude.”
The track boasts a stunning sound that clearly draws inspiration from iconic 70’s artists like Don McLean and Rupert Holmes. It features a powerful, pristine quality, underscored by exceptional production and musicality, expertly crafted by renowned international hitmaker and recording artist Dean Friedman.
Not only does the song shine with its three lead vocalists (Dean, Iyla, and Paul), but it is also elevated by the masterful trumpet sound of Kelly O’Donohue from Germany and the powerful lead guitar solo by Tim Ryan, taking the song to new heights.
Undoubtedly, a song that transcends time and conveys a powerful message: a true solace for Kamala. Paul is optimistic about the future of the US and believes that when one listens to “Timidly Free,” they can draw their own interpretations and find personal significance in its lyrics.
