New Music: Franki

Franki is a Dublin-based artist who has managed to craft some of the finest chillwave pop that I have heard all week. This is a sound that feels fresh and new, yet still carries a certain essence of nostalgia that is charmingly loveable.

“’Redo’ came at a time when I was second-guessing myself a lot and questioning all of my decisions, wanting to go back and do them again. Especially when it came to relationships. I think people generally have an issue with absolving themselves of responsibility and I wanted to honestly reflect my own arrogance. I think doing that and being this honest with myself in my songwriting has been extremely valuable to me since then and that honesty in my songs is something I hold quite close.”
