Frankie Bird (formerly known as FRANKIE) is back with her debut LP, Twenty Something, which is set for release on 6 June. This indie pop star, who has already toured with big names like Troye Sivan and Dua Lipa, has now used her experiences to create a reflective, yet optimistic musical journey in Twenty Something.
The album's standout track, "Unstuck," perfectly captures the album's essence. The song opens with a striking a cappella, showcasing Frankie's talent for both melody and lyrics. It’s a track that really resonates with me. It explores themes of personal growth and the transformative pain of her twenties. Frankie says this song and the album go from a "why me?" perspective to a more gracious "thank you" stance, which shows the two sides of feeling stuck and then liberated.
The lyrics in “Unstuck” are really powerful, and they reflect a decade of self-discovery and challenges. Frankie's story shows that the challenges she faced in her twenties weren't setbacks but opportunities for personal growth and strength. This theme is something everyone can relate to, no matter what stage of life they're at.
Frankie Bird has already achieved over a million streams with her initial singles and received accolades from prestigious platforms like Billboard and Rolling Stone. Her latest work is set to be a cornerstone in indie pop music this year.
