Frankie Jobling’s musical career has only just started, yet as you delve into her catalogue of four tracks, her euphoric yet sultry vocals set her as a serious one to watch. Taking early inspiration from soul and jazz greats such as Aretha Franklin and Billie Holiday, it’s the contemporary neo-soul sound that Frankie has truly embraced and has been compared to a “Northern Jorja Smith.'' (Trlblzr magazine). A proud native of Newcastle, Frankie has taken the city by storm with back-to-back gigs, including three sold-out headline shows, gracing the same festival lineups as ELIZA, Madness and Rudimental, and support slots across multiple venues. Not just this, but local BBC Introducing teams and Amazing Radio UK and US have continued to sing her praises from the beginning of her career to her most recent releases. “Frankie has been a stand out artist in the North East” (Shakk, BBC Radio Tees). Starting the year as she means to go on, Frankie played her biggest show to date in March supporting The Pharcyde and gained high praise for her latest single from Wonderland Magazine “Jobling has a vitality to her vocal ability that is rare to find, which is more than matched by an acute and profound lyrical acumen.” ( With more releases and credible live dates to come, including playing Kendal Calling in the summer, Frankie is making her mark on the neo-soul scene in 2023.
