"Complete Me is an auteur's album," Island Records contends - a fancy way of saying that Frankmusik, aka south London synth-popper Vincent Frank, wrote and played the whole thing himself. Should we be impressed? All things considered - particularly his unerring melodic instincts, which make this an album of hit singles in waiting - we should. It's premature to claim that he's "on the cusp of rewiring the national consciousness", but Frank's high-energy confidence makes him one of the most appealing of 2009's crop of young synth acts. It displays itself in a speeded-up version of the Stranglers' Golden Brown (retitled When You're Around), in the entwined classical piano and angry electronics on Your Boy and in the mix of fuzzy synths and disconsolate vocals on Gotta Boyfriend? It's just a shame Frank's default singing mode is an overheated falsetto - if anything is likely to deter people from investigating this nifty little record, it's that.
