Cimo Fränkel has waved his pen and conjured a soulful number, a single titled ‘Magical’. Crisp snares offset a steady kick, while a strong Funk bass establishes the groove. With a touch of ‘80s flair, Cimo reminisces about love lost in a song that draws its flavour from his musical roots, but with a contemporary pop twist comparable to The Weeknd.
The musician opens up, saying ‘Magical’ is: “Basically a follow-up emotion to ‘Closed The Door’, the recognition of the value of a relationship that comes when the storm settles.”
Cimo Fränkel was born in Amsterdam, Netherlands, where he grew up around his father, a funk musician who would invite Cimo to join him in the studio and enlighten him on the DIY ethos of funk culture. At age fifteen, Cimo would explore music production and collaborate with other young and passionate Dutch musicians. The musician has cited the works of Michael Jackson and Huey Lewis as highly inspirational to the artist he is today. His own sound contains elements of Billie Eilish, Frank Ocean and Tate McRae.
