Frankie Venter Is ‘Talking To The Walls' In New Single Out Today
Fresh off her international festival slot debut at Starburst in Sydney and Best Pop Artist nomination at the Aotearoa Music Awards, 18-year-old pop sensation, Frankie Venter, releases her latest single 'talking to the walls' today. Disguised by a catchy beat and soothing guitar, Venter delves into her own heartbreak from an emotionally unavailable relationship.
With 'talking to the walls', Venter unveils a deeply vulnerable side of her songwriting, displaying her creative versatility to be able to produce introspective tracks and anthems that still carry the infectious pop energy Venter is known for.
'This is a song I wrote about breaking up with someone who was emotionally unavailable. I often found myself literally talking to the walls during this relationship, when the person I was with should've been the first person I could speak to about what was happening in my life,' says Venter.
Co-written by collaborator Dan Martin and close friend Indyah, 'talking to the walls' was one of their earliest creations, but had been sitting unreleased for almost a year. The track also features production credits from LA-based Australian producer M-Phazes who has worked with heavy weights such as Eminem, Ruel, Teezo, Touchdown and Lucky Daye.
Venter says it was time to release the song now that she's healed from the breakup. 'When I listen back to the song it's like opening a little time capsule into heart-broken Frankie's life at the time. Now that I'm over it, I think it's time to share this super vulnerable part of my life.'
Venter will perform at BIGSOUND 2025 in Brisbane this September, joining Aotearoa and Australia's premier festival for emerging talent. Her new release 'talking to the walls' marks the beginning of the lead-up to her upcoming EP and is further proof of Venter's ever evolving gift at crafting superb pop hits.
'talking to the walls' is available now.
