Ears Wide Open: Frankie

Pop princess Frankie may be relatively new to L.A. but anyone in the Bay Area (hometown is Oakland) would recognize her since she spent her childhood writing music and forming a band with her cousin. Now in the city where pop tart dreams can come true, Frankie Miller has partnered up with longtime collaborator Petros (Dillon Francis, One Direction, among others) for a sweet, retro, baby-doll single that sticks in your head. Her ’90s-inspired style is heavy on the girl power without being overbearing and is versatile enough to hang in a club or make the next Apple commercial. “Problems, Problems” is romantic with practicality, remaining extremely humble and pure as the 23-year-old tells the story of a fizzling relationship. This single is the second to drop from her debut EP “Dreamstate,” due April 14 via South by Sea Music.
