Bingkai Karya-Multidisciplinary music & visual artist Laura Pieri reveals her new EP, “Frankie.” This mini album will be accompanied by a short film which will premiere on June 17th.
The 4-track EP came to be when Pieri was at the point of almost giving up on her career. Inspired by her farewell to the industry, the story of Frankie, a woman reclaiming her power, was born. In an EP that cycles through the great, bad, good, and ugly of self-discovery, Pieri emerges as an artist who has rediscovered her voice. The EP was co-written with an all-female team of songwriters and executive produced by Skyler Cocco.
The protagonist of the EP, Frankie, is a representation of a woman navigating surroundings that are dominated by men. She serves as an example for women working in exploitative fields. Drawing inspiration from tales such as Frankenstein, Suspiria, and Persephone, the characters in the Frankie story represent the capacity of women to modify and conceal themselves based on the situation at hand.
Born in São Paulo, Brazil, where she lived until the age of 16, Laura Pieri always dreamed of being a pop star. In 2014, she moved to America and split her time between New York and Los Angeles to further her education and simultaneously pursue a music career. Inspired by a wide array of artists like Prince, Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, and Michael Jackson, Pieri hopes to blend her pop influences with her Brazilian roots and use her songwriting to connect with others.
