Frankie Master’s new single “Sakura” sets a high bar for her upcoming album Aseasonal Sadness. The title translates to ‘cherry blossom,’ fitting the song’s theme of welcoming spring. This indie pop track, with hints of indie rock, starts with a soft rhythm that pairs beautifully with Frankie’s smooth, slightly saturated vocals, creating a warm, tube-amp sound.
The production recalls the brilliance of Hall & Oates, particularly with its guitar work and a unique double-stop before the second verse. Yet, “Sakura” is distinctly modern, driven by Frankie’s captivating voice. The song explores coming-of-age, with each verse presenting lessons from different life stages. Its upbeat, fresh vibe makes it perfect for any playlist meant to lift spirits and embrace a new season.
