Meet Frankee (19) and Britt (20), the latest, smartest, realest pop darlings to rollerblade onto the catwalk of big, brash, British girl-pop excess.
Over the last 18 months best friends Frankee and Britt aka Mini Viva have been working with the stellar production team at Xenomania HQ. They describe the sound they have found with their collaborators as “pop with a quirky edge. It could only be us.” First out of the block is the global feelgood hit of the summer, Left My Heart In Tokyo.
The rollercoaster groove of their debut single is a technicolour disco anthem in the making. A brilliant collision of happy melody and sad lyrics, it calls to mind the first time you heard a ‘Wannabe’ or ‘Baby, One More Time’. It is pure pop gold-dust. The chorus is a pop dream, one listen and it’s lodged. Already, French remixer of the moment Fred Falke has leaned it out into a MySpace sensation. Hen parties and men parties are about to conjoin as one under the Mini Viva sonic umbrella.
“It’s a brilliant song and as soon as we’d recorded it we knew we had our sound,” says Frankee. “It worked.”
