Mumbai, 17^th August 2023: “New” was Frizzell’s debut release and the one that helped launch her career. Over the years, New has seeped into people’s playlists and has also become a crowd favourite at her shows.

By revisiting her debut song in an intimate, stripped-down acoustic rendition, Frizzell reflected on her growth in the three years since entering the music industry. “New-Acoustic” is a warm guitar-driven song with a subtle layer of piano performed by Derek Mathias. The song was mixed and mastered by Varun Murali, at The Red Music Box Studio.

As a pre-cursor to the release, Frizzell launched her first tour, titled the “Something New Tour” across Mumbai, Delhi, Goa, and Indore, generating a nostalgic buzz around the theme before the release. The tour was a memorable first, with a sold-out show in Mumbai and packed performances in the other cities. Audiences left with a renewed connection with Frizzell’s music and an anticipation for what’s to come.
