One of the many benefits of being a meagre 19 years old and making music so nice that thousands of people want to hear it is that you can play a teenage fangirl in your music video and nobody will bat so much as an eyelid. Greta Kline, aka Frankie Cosmos, can anyway; her new video for Art School sees her play a sweet, lovesick Justin Bieber fan happily hanging out in her own private Bieber-palace surrounded by posters, pencil cases and other paraphernalia.
Directed by Sophie Bennett Holmes, it’s filmed in the best possible lo-fi way, sitting back as Frankie braids her hair, strokes her posters, makes plasticine figures of herself and Beebs snog and then dances nonchalantly around in slow motion. It’s kind of like a delightfully unsexy ode to teenage girldom, which hasn’t been so appealing since I first got my hands on Judy Blume’s Are You There God? It’s Me, Maragaret.
