Having just made an impressive debut performance at SXSW and with a debut EP Dreamstate set to drop in 2 days (on April 14), Frankie might me a relative newcomer to the indie pop scene but she is sizzling hot! With each new song she releases the buzz surrounding her gets bigger. With 800,000 listens on Soundcloud and Spotify, plus a great remix of her track Problems Problems by producer duo BLU J – put her on your list of artists to watch out for this year.

Her latest single New Obession is quite an apt title. Prepare to be intoxicated by her sound and smitten by her charm. Think sweet-girl-next-door crossed with tomboyish girl power – a beautiful mix of retro and contemporary.

This 23-year old singer-songwriter with dreamy synth-pop melodies is 100% in control of her artistic vision. “I want to bridge together the sound of women from the ’70s, like Stevie Nicks and Joni Mitchell, with women from the ’90s, like Alanis Morissette and The Spice Girls,” Frankie explains. “They were completely unique, sang exactly what was on their minds and represented a real time of girl power, which is something I try to channel into my music.
“Like so many great female singers who came before me, I want fans to listen to my songs and connect with every emotion I’m expressing,” Frankie adds. “Basically, I want you to feel like I’m right there with you, whether you’re in the mood to dance or just need a good cry, I want my music to heal and lift your spirits..”

Frankie is certainly poised to become our new obsession – take a listen to her latest single and the opening track on her debut EP Dreamstate –

Frankie simply oozes California cool – as do the six songs on her debut EP Dreamstate.
01 – New Obsession
02 – Where We Left It
03 – Problems Problems
04 – Blackout
05 – Gold
06 – Chaos

Frankie chose our Sunday Sessions this week (Creation 5 users you will find this playlist under ‘Playlists >> Sunday Sessions’)

1-BORNS- Electric Love
“This song…so vibey and brings me back to The Beach Boys days. I love him and I got a chance to hear this song at SXSW and it was everything. I’m all about harmonies and the chorus makes me dance every single time. This song gets my band and I pumped so no brainer”

2-Labrinth- Jealous
“This was one of my favorite songs of last year… so beautifully written and his vocal performance gives me chills every single time. Such a strong powerful ballad which I’m all about. One of my favorite artists to watch right now, undoubtedly.”

3 -Bebe Rexha- I’m Gonna Show You Crazy
“If this one doesn’t get you ready for Mondays then I don’t know what will…Love her voice and this song is seriously filled with girl power and gets me dancing like crazy. Pun intended. What a cool track and shows such a real side of humanity…love love love!”

The 16th edition of the annual Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival started yesterday (Friday April 10) and will continue over the rest of this weekend and the next. Thanks to technology, those of us not lucky enough to be able to hang out in the desert in California all weekend can watch the live stream.

The only artist you won’t be able to see on the live stream is Drake – you have to be there in person for that. Otherwise there is a really comprehensive schedule on the 3 live stream channels – find the feed for Channel 1, 2 and 3 below, followed by the full schedule.

The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (commonly referred to as Coachella or the Coachella Festival) is an annual music and arts festival held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, located in the Inland Empire’s Coachella Valley in the Colorado Desert. It was founded by Paul Tollett in 1999 and features many genres of music, including rock, indie, hip hop, and EDM, as well as art installations and sculptures. Across the grounds, several stages continuously host live music. The main stages are: Coachella Stage, Outdoor Theatre, Gobi Tent, Mojave Tent, and the Sahara Tent – a new Yuma stage was introduced in 2013.

Over the course of this weekend and next 160,000 people will trek to the desert in California. For us Live streamers we won’t have to hustle with the crowds, we can watch all the Coachella happenings all weekend via the below live stream, which kicks off at 3:30 p.m. PT.

Lip Sync Battle is the TV hit of the season! It’s become a huge viral sensation. Why? Basically, because it’s so silly and so much fun, and as it’s co-host JJ Cool says “I love the idea because it’s a new way to celebrate music on TV.” 

The celebrity fake-singing sensation is a spin off of the hugely popular Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. Fallon first pitched the show to NBC for network broadcast, but they turned it down! They must be cursing that decision right now! An NBC insider told the Hollywood Reporter that the feeling at NBC was like “We’re not just going to buy everything Jimmy brings us.”

Fallon took on The Rock in the shows debut with Dwayne performing Taylor Swift’s Shake it Off and Fallon starting a conga line to Harry Belfonte’s Jump in the Line. The end-of-show audience applause test saw The Rock beating Fallon. That first premiere was watched by more than 2.2 million people making it the most watched debut for a non-scripted series in the nework’s history.

Another of our favourite battles – Anne Hathaway vs Emily Blunt – airs tonight and the YouTube teaser has already racked up more than 9 million views. Hathaway’s performance has had everyone talking because it was so good! She literally channels Miley Cyrus, the moves, the looks everything! Apparently when the cameras shut off, everyone backstage was going nuts because she really went for it! Emily Blunt prepares to take on the challenge with her epic version of Janis Joplin. Tune in tonight for the full show! (We’ve added the pre-show clip to our video list.)

Lip Sync Battle airs Thursdays at 10 p.m. on Spike TV.
