Blond ft. Frannie Holder – Knot
Fran Straube is increasingly determined to conquer the world through perseverance, good taste, and by creating music and images that few dare to propose. We must add one more adjective to those we have said about one of our favorite artists in Latin America: She is definitely brave. Fran knows she's demanding high expectations from her followers, assuring them that her challenge is to surpass her own standards of beauty each day. With this visual metaphor of caterpillars and butterflies, a beautiful embodiment of supreme elegance, she raises the bar and prepares for when, once this period of confinement ends, she arrives in Mexico and confirms, from the largest market on this side of the world, that she deserves to be embraced and revered by the masses.
