Frankly, franxie’s debut alt-folk track, ‘Fucking Around’ is something special!

Stripped-down, muted acoustic strums and franxie’s brutally honest, conversational vocals make ‘Fucking Around’ a delightfully fun yet emotionally charged track to jive to. Listeners of powerful female pop/folk voices such as Billie Eilish, Lana Del Ray will find plenty to like about the Aussie artist’s commanding, no-nonsense tone of voice.

‘Fucking Around’ opens on playful, emotive muted acoustic strums and franxie’s beautifully balanced tenor. She bares it all, nonchalantly, expressing her intentions as plainly for anyone to see. Yet, as the track progresses, you get a sense of the fragility and vulnerability she’s expressing, too. Franxie uses space and depth quite superbly, giving her voice a raw emotionality and resolve.

When the ghostly, vocal harmonies hit around the minute mark, it takes ‘Fucking Around’ to a whole new transcendent level. Yet, the track flows forward patiently, almost unassumingly, as if blissfully unaware of its sheer brilliance, driven by simplicity.

In that simplicity lies what makes this debut release so special and memorable. It’s a track that you could so easily imagine franxie jamming out at a local open mic, park or campsite. Refreshing, organic, and intimate. These three qualities encapsulate everything good about the instrumentation and sound.

Of course, franxie’s vocals & songwriting are the standout winners here. This is an artist who stands out with her rare ability to balance simplicity, wit, honesty, and heartbreak. It’s a winning combination and a strong first impression. We’re eager to see what else she has in store.
