The Real FRANKEE
'Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned'.
Or perhaps a better analogy would be 'Don't get mad, get even?' Whatever the catch phrase that applies, what can't be denied is it's stunning effect. Upon first hearing the out and out dis song by fellow Staten Island native and former beau, Eamon "F**k It", Twenty-year old Frankee, responded the only way she knew how. With pen, paper and microphone. The resulting worldwide smash, "F.U.R.B. (F U Right Back)", sees the usually sweet and demure Frankee not only setting the record straight with a stinging return burst of lyrical gunfire but in the process showing the world what an awesome talent she really is.
In fact, don't let her first single fool you. Long before Frankee felt compelled to record F.U.R.B. she had been generating quite an industry buzz. So much, so in fact, that heavyweight producers such as The Trackmasters (Mariah Carey, Destiny's Child, R. Kelly) and grammy winner Rich Harrison (Beyonce's "Crazy In Love", Amerie) along with noted songwriters Makeba (Janet Jackson, B2K, Bad Boy, Jennifer Lopez) and Andre Deyo (Jennifer Lopez, Monica) had signed up to be down with the soulfully voiced alto.
Frankee began honing her craft in church at the age six in Staten Island's close knit community. School choirs soon followed and before long the then teenage protégée 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 left after only one year to return to New York to pursue her musical career.
"It's not a move I'd recommend to everyone" she says honestly. "But I knew New York was where I had to be. I'd already established a great rapport with various producers so it killed me to have to stop that in the middle and move to Florida.
Her instincts proved correct. By the time her demos had made the rounds, several offers were on the table. Frankeee wisely opted to sign with an indie, Marro Records, that had major label distribution.
"I've been working at this for a long time" Frankee says, "So I've learned not to believe the hype and get my hopes up too high because so much in the music industry is out of an artist's hands. All I can do is records 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. Something I'm Really proud of. I think I've achieved that. I mean I LOVE this record! Sometimes I play it and forget it's me I'm listening to and I'm thinking, 'Wow, this is a really great song.' If this was someone else's album, I'd definitely have it in my collection."
