"Gifted with a unique voice, the Ghent-based pop crooner Embracingfranki has been regularly swooning Belgian audiences since the late 90s.

Can you imagine a mix of the cabaret-like pop of Gavin Friday or Marc Almond, the passionate stage presence of Jacques Brel and a flair for tragic torch-songs inherited from ABBA-singer Agnetha Fältskog? Getting pretty close!

However, Embracingfranki is also just Franki: a flamboyant and strong personality, with a tinge of camp and a splash of melancholy but always ending on a hopeful note."
