Lauran Hibberd – Frankie’s Girlfriend
Lauran Hibberd - Frankie's Girlfriend
Release Date: Out Now
Of all the plethora of superb
solo female artists currently roaming the British Isles, Lauran Hibberd is
definitely in my top three and rising right now. Hibberd’s latest single, ‘Frankie’s
Girlfriend’, is a classic tale of lost love, jealousy and missed opportunities
that would be fitting for a heartbroken Motown song. But, and here’s the
genius, it’s set to a sparse indie-rock melody that brings the likes of Rooney,
Fountains of Wayne or Weezer to mind and, for an Isle of Wight soloist, Hibberd
could give the excellent Charly Bliss a run for their money. Deadpan vocals with
a flicker of despair in the intonation and sweet melodies played on fuzzy
guitars will get me every time so just keep doing what you’re doing.
