Crushes can arrive like fireworks or drift in like melted ice cream sliding across a summer dashboard. supermodel* understands that kind of romance better than most: messy, nostalgic, and impossible to fully clean off once they stick. cherry garcia runs on dusty guitar textures, loose dance grooves, and casually funny observations, yet the record carries understanding of Frankie Beanie. You can hear traces of punk looseness, British indie sarcasm, hip-hop rhythm, and dance-floor repetition colliding inside the structure of “cherry garcia." Laid-back confidence feels lifted from a forgotten late-night MTV rotation, pulling influence from ’90s alternative culture of turntable scratches, half-spoken delivery, and hyper-specific lyrical details. One moment Frankie is casually tossing out references to Diet Coke and ice cream, and the next he is talking about marriage and permanence with complete sincerity. Even the choreography-heavy visual leans into this same balancing act, blending absurdity, rejection, fantasy, and optimism.

The donut-shop setting works precisely because it feels ordinary. Frankie dancing in Timbs while trying to win over someone behind a register sounds ridiculous on paper, but supermodel* has built an identity around making emotionally clumsy situations feel magnetic instead of embarrassing. Frankie’s background moving from Virginia punk bands to Liverpool and eventually Los Angeles also explains why the project feels so stylistically restless. Following the momentum of the self-titled EP and the growing curiosity surrounding supermodel*’s online presence this release feels like another piece of Frankie’s evolving world-building. keeps bending awkward honesty with "cherry garcia" and connect on Instagram, Tik Tok, and X.
