1) Fra… Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one artist that goes by the name Frankie:
1) Frankie is the solo project of musician Franziska Aigner, who released her debut EP Styx in 2022. She is cello player and studied at P.A.R.T.S. the school of choreography and dance. She appears on Okay Kaya' song Inside of a Plum.
2) Frankie is the kind of artist Bangkok Blend was created for—a songwriter’s songwriter and performer’s performer blessed with a golden voice and universal appeal—a singer who understands the vision and brings an undeniable talent to the process. She’s a joy for any listener to discover—a lover and a fighter and old-soul trader in genuine energy, aiming straight for the heart. Frankie turns a sly eye to the pageantry of emotion, the drama of love and the mysteries of everyday life with a disarming mixture of sincerity and cosmic insolence, unapologetically romantic, spinning golden threads of lyric and melody, each inflection and melisma planned and considered, each word tailored for meaning and effect—the pop gesture as artform. She delivers it all with carefree charm and nearly divine intuition.
Born in Maryland, in the heart of the 1990s, Frankie entered the teenage slipstream back on the east coast, past the haunted houses, surf shops, and burger joints of Salisbury, a mid-tier, rough-around-the-edges resort town. There is an inevitability to every biography, a myriad of strange narrative palm lines that twist and intersect, and she followed hers bravely to a seam of alternative beach culture, living close to the Atlantic Ocean but studying a less bronzed way of life.
Friends
Frankie Lyrics

You've always been a prick
Why didn't I block you way way back, shouldn't have waited for personal attack
You've always been a dick
Your dad's a homophobe your mum's rudely honest, 'course I'm not offended when they mock my nail polish
Like they say it's just a phase
Sat two hours on the train to visit you when suicidal, few months later you made me feel the same
Exactly the same
Won't fall for your trap
Reported your stalking to the local police, gave them all the screenshots but they did nothing
Nothing at all
A year ago I would have called you my best friend, but now it's all come to a very sudden end
At least it made a good song
The lyrics to Frankie's song "Friends" describe the experience of being let down and betrayed by a friend. The singer talks about being mocked in front of their friends by this person and realizing that they should have cut ties much earlier. They reflect on how this person has always been difficult to deal with and cite examples of their parents' prejudices against LGBTQ+ individuals. Despite this, the singer didn't take offense to being mocked for their nail polish, as they believed it was just a phase.
The second verse delves deeper into the toxic nature of the friendship. The singer reveals that they once traveled for two hours to be with this person when they were feeling suicidal, only for this friend to make them feel exactly the same way a few months later. The final straw was when the singer blocked this person, only for them to continue harassing them with new accounts and messages. After reporting the stalking to the police with evidence, nothing was done. The singer reflects on how this person was their best friend a year ago, but it has all come to an abrupt end, at least resulting in a good song.
This song highlights the importance of recognizing when a friendship has become toxic and knowing when to let go. The lyrics are emotionally charged and provide a raw insight into the pain and anger that comes with being betrayed by someone you once trusted.

“Yes. Yes it is. IN PRISON! What’s the matter with you?” Ross’ delivery of that line is hilarious 😂
@nemethricsi
The beginning of the show he was probably more theatrical<3. He is the best actor from the six :)
@yogacholandha
He sounds very Italian-American. Almost like Joey's big brother.
@davida6919
“I know!”
@JonVoid37
@Richárd Németh i dunno he seemed to get more and more i mean the final season 'the one where ross is fine' showcases that it never waned but increased. not that i minded. his acting was the best by far imo.
@mikee702
@Jon Void yeah, he got far more theatrical and annoying as the seasons went on...not sure how that other guy thinks differently lol
@achilles6221981
