Searching

Frenchie

self-release

WE SAY

London-based French-English singer-songwriter Frenchie weaves soul, jazz, and alternative R&B with exquisite beauty and assuredness in her self-titled debut album, released last week. Produced by UK jazz luminary Femi Temowo - known for his work with Amy Winehouse, Sault and Gregory Porter – the album is an absolute joy from start to finish. With looks to Cleo Sol, Lauryn Hill and Khruangbin to artists such as Minnie Riperton and Carole King, Frenchie crafts a sound that is both effortlessly modern and timeless. On ‘Searching’, she and Temowo channel the golden era of Motown, evoking the warmth and soul of Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin, while infusing it with a fresh, contemporary touch. Frenchie has already caught the attention of tastemakers like Colors, The Line Of Best Fit, Wonderland, Clash, Jamz Supernova (6 Music), Jazz FM, Reprezent Radio, BBC London and BBC Introducing, but she deserves so much more for this beautiful album.  So, pour your favourite drink, press play, and let this track and beautiful album fill the room — you won’t be disappointed.
