This Is Motion is singer-songwriter Frankie Wesson‘s third studio album and it’s got her on our radar.

By Graeme Smith

Wesson’s new album is pop rock that’s brought to emotional life through passionate vocals. They speak of lost love and self doubt but also finding one’s way through darkness and consolation. It’s a coming of age collection that touches on themes of nostalgia, times, places, memories and looking back with wisdom.

My Baby Blues is a rousing highlight, as is Undisturbed which builds gently to an epic and stirring crescendo. Title track This Is Motion, goes heavy with the emotion during a dynamic moment. Valentines, California and Delicate, by contrast, are soft and acoustic. In Her Room captivates with its intimacy and vulnerability, speaking of sexuality and connection. Hey English closes the album with rich storytelling and a display of Frankie’s impressive vocals. Throughout, elements of folk and country meet ambient pop and rock in a new and interesting way.

Wesson’s music has been described as ‘timeless’ (Soundboard) and has been compared to likes of Fleetwood Mac and Paramore. Fans of either of those acts will find a lot to love about her new album, and may well discover their new favourite artist.
