Frankee

Exercising her right in “Don’t get mad get even” ideology, New York City native Frankee rebuts ex-boy toy Eamon’s “F**k It” with her resounding first single “F.U.R.B. (F U Right Back).” This flagrantly titled song sees the usually sweet and demure Frankee not only angrily settling the score with a stinging burst of lyrical gunfire, but in the process showing the world what an awesome talent she really has. Long before Frankee felt compelled to record “F.U.R.B. (F U Right Back),” she caught the ears of heavyweight producers The Trackmasters (Mariah Carey, Destiny’s Child), Grammy winner Rich Harrison (Beyonce's "Crazy In Love") and noted songwriters Makeba (Janet Jackson, B2K, Jennifer Lopez) and Andre Deyo (Jennifer Lopez, Monica) alike. Titling her 2004 debut release The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, twenty year old Frankee crafted together a stellar collection of emotionally driven songs reflecting the full spectrum of relationships. With this, she does not fail in showcasing her perfected alto sound; a skill she had been honing in a Staten Island church since the age of six. Before long, the teenage protégé was studying voice in Manhattan with renowned singer and vocal producer Danny Madden, while taking dance at the Broadway Dance Center. She received a full scholarship to the University of Tampa but instinctually left after only one year to return to New York to pursue a musical career. After returning, her demos made the rounds, several offers were put on the table, and Frankee opted to sign with Marro Records, an indie label with major label distribution. In an album full of highlights, instant standout tracks include the breezy summertime groove of "How U Do", the infectious "Who the Hell Are You" and sensitive "I’m Leaving". Says Frankee, "All I can do is record the best songs I can and do it to the best of my ability and try to make an album that I would want to play over and over again myself.”
