Frances Fiend – Hypomania (I’m Awake)
Through heavy riffs and unrestrained anger, ‘Hypomania’ represents the bright future and the next generation of punk rock music. Frances’ vocals are equally high-powered and dramatic as they are charming. Ranging between a softer sound to a more eccentric sound, she keeps listeners on their toes.
Unpredictability regarding this track is what makes it such a repeatable listen. The direction of ‘Hypomania’ is everchanging and interesting. The verses are packed with frustration, only to wind down for its catchy chorus. With Frances Fiend’s background as a classically trained singer of Persian descent, her vocals are refreshing and individual within the punk scene. There is a beauty behind the anger of this track – ‘Hypomania’ is layered with distinct harmonies vocal shifts.
As a fan of The Clash and Nirvana, much of Frances Fiend’s sound is influenced by heavy-hitting rock and grunge too. Her use of adlibs integrated within the track fuels its sense of self-assurance. With multi-instrumentalist talent, Frances Fiend’s knowledge of music goes further than having a strong voice. A passion for rock music resulted in a self-taught skill for both guitar and bass.
‘Hypomania (I’m Awake)’ is an honest and memorable off-centre track. Frances’ energy is infectious. This track’s danceability leaves us in anticipation of her debut album – due for release this summer.
