An indie pop gem who found us the old-school way—by being herself on purpose
We love when creative minds don’t wait to be found — they make sure they’re seen.
Allow us to introduce you to Frankie June — the self‑proclaimed “your grandma’s favorite new indie pop artist,” and a reminder of why independent media still matters.
Sometimes you have to cut through the noise to find something real — and this one made sure we didn’t miss her.

Frankie reached out in the most creative, DIY, beautifully unfiltered way: on TikTok. She tagged us in a self‑made video press kit, reading off her past mentions and saying plainly, “I can’t afford a publicist.”
That alone is the INYIM motto in motion — Be Yourself on Purpose — which often means doing everything yourself and still showing up fully. And by chance, we already knew her voice. She appears in American Primeval, starring Betty Gilpin as Oaklyn — a connection that made her TikTok tag feel less random and more like timing clicking into place. And the music carries that same energy. Americana warmth meeting dream‑pop haze, with a softness that recalls early Kimbra.
Her new single “Hollywood 2016” lands quietly but stays with you. A lush, delicate run of rock‑pop — perfectly produced, layered without excess, and emotionally tuned. Not trying to overwhelm. Not trying to prove anything. A quiet stunner. A gem found.
Frankie June is one to know. She is one of us.
THE SOUND SHE’S BUILDING
Frankie’s world is built on soft edges, warm haze, and emotional clarity.
Her vocals float. Her production glows. Her storytelling feels lived‑in — the kind of indie pop that feels handcrafted, not assembled. It’s nostalgic without leaning backward. Dreamy without drifting off. Grounded in a voice that knows exactly what it wants to say. Frankie June doesn’t chase the moment — she lets it come to you.
