Pop singer, Miz Mandy, has partnered with Los Angeles based songwriter, composer, and music producer, Ryan Franks, to co-write and produce her third pop album. A change from her first two albums, ‘In The Mix' and ‘Today's the Day' which included two Billboard charting singles ‘In the Mix' and ‘Sweet Fury of Love', Miz Mandy says 'We've switched up my artistic direction a bit, focusing on a bit more of a sophisticated and retro sound. Moody. Sultry. Chic.' http://www.MizMandy.com/ Graduating from the University of Colorado with a Bachelor's of Music, Ryan Franks chimes in, 'When she approached me, the idea was to take traditional pop music from the 60's, like Serge Gainsbourg or Nancy Sinatra, and bring a contemporary sensibility to it... a really fantastic opportunity to play with almost cinematic themes and orchestrations, while dropping heavy beats and really energetic arrangements.'
