Alternative Pop from Franny London

Franny London is 23-year-old California-based singer-songwriter and producer who’s carving a distinctive path through the world of experimental pop. Her music is a piquant fusion of acoustic and electronic elements, a mirror reflecting the marriage of the natural world with human-made creations.

Now she brings us her latest release, the new single titled “Funny Girl,” a harbinger of her eagerly awaited sophomore EP, California Poppy. Written and produced by Franny herself, “Funny Girl” follows the success of her recent single, “Metal,” and once again displays her knack in crafting immersive pop soundscapes threaded with unforgettable songwriting.

“Funny Girl” opens with a gentle kick beat, introducing Franny’s enchanting vocals. The song thrums with softly shimmering synth shots and intricate sonic textures. As her voice weaves intricate melodic leads, the arrangement gradually ascends to the chorus, where warm guitar tones provide a sturdy foundation beneath the fluttering synth embellishments. It’s a captivating, wholly original sound, a showcase of Franny’s prowess as both a vocalist and a songwriter, and an exciting precursor to her forthcoming EP.

In this track, she taps into a deeper, more expressive part of her voice; a facet she hadn’t thoroughly explored until now. This song seeks to evoke not only power and acceptance within Franny London herself but within its listeners too. It’s an ode to self-acceptance and an invitation for all to embrace their inner strength. Franny London’s “Funny Girl” is a superb demonstration of her ability to craft music that shines with familiarity while still offering something entirely new.

Commenting on the single, she shares, “I wanted to make a song about my younger self, about a mischievous, headstrong kid. I was considering the ways I have grown and changed, and the things I lost from that phase of my life, and how I could get the best of me back. I wanted to write to her, like she was standing in front of me.”

Adding, “I wanted to ask her what she needed, and thank her, and work on integrating her into my life now. I wanted to honour how we come onto earth whole in our own ways, and how life can try to shake us down and teach us that the best parts of ourselves are things we should reject and change. I wanted to tell anyone who’s listening that the most power can be found in accepting those parts of ourselves.”
