FrankMusik – Better Off As Two
Island Records
Listening to this, you can see why the current girl-fronted electro thing is proving so popular. Cold synthy ice-cream needs sprinkles of charisma; something that Ladyhawke, La Roux and Little Boots all seem not only aware of but also able to do something about.
FrankMusik, alas, looks, sings and dances like a tool: he should fire his hairdresser and hire a kooky front-girl. Then this song might be as brilliant as Frank clearly thinks it is. Low on charm; low on the causes of charm. 2/5

FrankMusik – Confusion Girl
Universal Island Records
I'm reaching a point of diminishing returns with this whole electro-pop blitzkrieg. La Roux gave me the most excruciating ear worm ever and now I have to listen to a certain FrankMusik, erstwhile beatboxer plying easy synthpop hooks and cheap lyrics.
'Confusion Girl', from his upcoming album 'Complete Me', is radio-friendly drivel with a palatable chorus. Frank's piping vocals do a fair job but he's no classically-trained Mika, whom he's been compared to. Sorry Frank, you're still more muzak than musik. 3/5
