New Zealand's music scene has a rising star, and she's ready to turn pop-skeptics into pop-fanatics.
19-year-old Frankie Venter has a fresh take on the genre, often releasing her singles along with a sped-up and a slowed-down version.
"Paris," however, stands on its own; the pinnacle of her clean, refined sound. Subtle instrumentals let her vocals take the wheel, where she incorporates satisfyingly catchy pop melodies with subtle allusions to the fluidity of R&B. Painfully relatable, Venter once again shines with her cheeky lyricism that evolves from subtle to in-your-face from the verse to the chorus.
Between constant releases, Frankie Venter is making a name for herself, performing at New Zealand's Rhythm & Vines festival and opening for artists like Keenan Te and Coldplay.
