Still riding high in the charts with their breakout hit ‘Left My Heart In Tokyo’ our favourite duo Mini Viva get prepared to unleash their next out-of-the-box smash. I Wish is an instant classic: the story of a tragedy of a love just out of reach set to an immaculate beat - the sound of dancing your heartache away.
Frankee & Britt are two girls on a mission. Their mission is to cast a veil of glorious, classic pop gold dust over these bleak times. They want you singing, they want you dancing and they want to welcome you to their Mini Viva universe. ‘Mini’ and ‘Viva’ are the nicknames the girls have for each other.
When they put them together it really worked as a band name. “It felt right,” says Frankee. “And now it sounds right,” adds Britt. When not howling with laughter, these girls have a telepathic trick for continuing each other’s sentences. “We’re like sisters,” says Frankee. “She’s Mini,” says Frankee of Britt, “because she reminds me of Minnie Mouse. A bit bonkers, like. She does her own thing”.
“And she’s Viva for vivacious” adds Britt “exotic, cool and beautiful, with that face that says butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth.” Don’t be deceived. Together, Mini Viva are here to strut right into the hearts of the massive, giddy demographic that cares about great pop.
Both infectiously funny, cheeky, a little bit naughty and both engagingly different from one another, they’re destined to be everyone’s new music crush, new style crush, new everything crush.
Currently putting their final touches to the debut album (due early 2010) expect a supersonic pop onslaught from the smartest, realest pop darlings we have seen for a long time …
