Milwaukee’s genre-defying Johnny Franchino is back with “Where You Want To Be,” a brooding new single that dropped yesterday and finds the multi-award-winning artist leaning into his more introspective side.

The track pairs Franchino with vocalists Natalia Fae and Timothy Johnson Jr. for a slow-burning collaboration that oozes with melancholic atmosphere. Built on a relaxed, swaying groove, “Where You Want To Be” showcases the kind of cross-genre fluidity that has made Franchino a fixture in the Wisconsin music scene—blending his signature electronic production sensibilities with soulful R&B undertones.

For those unfamiliar, Franchino has been racking up accolades across Milwaukee including Best Electronic Artist, Best Hip Hop Artist, and Best Male Vocalist honors. He’s also known for fronting The New Grey and earned the Wisconsin Icon Award for his single “First World.” His AESTHETIX series has further cemented his reputation as one of the region’s most ambitious creative forces.

“Where You Want To Be” trades the high-energy punch of some of his previous work for something more contemplative—a slow-dance meditation on desire and direction. The low-slung tempo gives the track room to breathe while Natalia Fae and Timothy Johnson Jr. add rich vocal textures that complement Franchino’s production choices.
