WL//WH New Music: FRÄULEIN FRAUKE “Resilience” [Single]

New Music FRÄULEIN FRAUKE

Swedish queen of burlesque Fräulein Frauke has just released her debut single, “Resilience”, via La Petite Tempête.

The song circles around the art of burlesque as an act of resistance; a high-energy art-pop dance track driven by glamour and defiance.

I feel absolutely incredible to go into my new pop era as a performer and artist. This song encapsulates everything that I work for, and with, in regards to joy as resistance, queerness and creating safe spaces. I can’t wait for people to hear it and dance to it. Fräulein Frauke says

Frauke is one of Sweden’s most established burlesque artists and tours internationally with her uncompromising take on classic burlesque. With a vintage voice, intricately detailed costumes and a strong conceptual approach, she moves between jazz, striptease and Old Hollywood aesthetics, with a touch of early 20th-century decadence. In her new musical project, she brings this into a pop context.

Her new music endeavour is a collaboration with composer, artist and producer Jenny Gabrielsson Mare, best known for her dark wave duo White Birches, we’re familiar with.

I love writing pop music, but major chords rarely sit comfortably in my own work. Collaborating with a queer icon — and a close friend — to create something more subversive feels like a dream. The dance floor is where the revolution begins. Jenny Gabrielsson Mare says

The night of “Resilience” is a prayer for a long lost life and a dance of courage and independence.

A shimmering anthemic electro-pop reverie brimming with charm, pizzazz and bright, emotional candor, that perfectly blends lively, crisp rhythms and humming bass pulses with low resonant earnest keys, and lush, flickering electronic plucks to frame uplifting, heartfelt female vocals of melancholy and joy, arousing feelings of strength, sorrow, elation and momentary triumph.
