in 2009 frankmusik is that rarest of pop prospects; one that has manufactured his own image and music. 'complete me' is an auteur's album, a break-up record written about one girl. while his contemporaries use one producer for one track, one writer for another and end up with a hotch-potch of borrowed sentiments and a patchwork of production sounds, vincent wrote and produced these tracks in his bedroom in thornton heath, croydon. the album is an electronic love letter to an x - the soundtrack to an eternal summer of adolescent heartache, equal parts light and dark. frankmusik has become one of 2009's most in demand remixers / producers with a dozen remixes to his name for everyone from avant-garde brooklyn act telepathe to the pet shop boys; he has also produced two tracks on the forthcoming album by no 1 grime pop star tinchy stryder. here comes a new decade and here comes a versatile new dance-pop producer / songwriter to walk into the footsteps of fellow south london heroes basement jaxx. with his debut single 'better off as two' reaching the upper reaches of the charts and more singles from the album primed to explode, frankmusik's trajectory is star-bound. 'complete me' is a cohesive artistic whole from one of the country's most important new songwriters. at the callow age of 23 frankmusik is england's new electric dreamer on the cusp of re-wiring the national consciousness.
