Singer-songwriter Frizzell D’Souza brews another cup of ‘New’

Singer-songwriter Frizzell D’Souza talks about her first four-city tour

“Ain’t nothing like the real thing...” crooned Marvin Gaye and if he was here today he would sing the same tune — a tune that has listeners to Frizzell D’Souza humming the same.

“Everywhere I went, people would say, ‘It was nice to see you outside of Instagram Live’. Their resounding response has been incredibly reassuring and I am grateful to fans for their support,” says the Bengaluru-based artiste still ecstatic over the positive feedback to her first tour.

The tour which saw her perform in Mumbai, Delhi, Goa and Indore from the mid to the end of July, was a prelude to the release of, ‘New - Acoustic’, a reimagined version of her debut single, ‘New’, on her return to Bengaluru. It also marked many a milestone for the young artiste.

“The entire tour and release was centred around having been on the scene for about three years now; it also marks one year to my graduation from college, as well as the smaller things that have happened since. A tour seemed to be the next step ahead to celebrate the time I’ve spent as a musician.”

“Besides, for the longest time I’ve been trying to go to other cities to meet with fans instead of just on my Instagram Live,” Frizzell says.

So, what sets apart the reimagined version of this song from her debut? “I’ve been wanting to revisit ‘New’ because I feel like I’ve evolved a bit more as a songwriter. At the time it came out, I was just playing around with the idea of releasing a song and I hadn’t paid much attention to its songwriting and production elements,” Frizzell confesses.
