FRESH: ‘F.W.M.N.’ – AKICITA – Talk About Pop Music

AKICITA begs you to “F.W.M.N.”!
Pop

Pop newcomer AKICITA is an artist and singer-songwriter with a Dominican-Native American background, who has transformed her truly tumultuous life journey into an enigmatic, graceful and complex pop persona.

Those traits all stand proud in her new single “F.W.M.N.”, and not only that, she announces she will support Leona Lewis on her UK Christmas tour!

“F.W.M.N.” is an assertive dark-pop anthem in which AKICITA channels the skyscraping power of her voice to declare that she’s going to triumph against any obstacles that stand in her way. For AKICITA It’s a cathartic, blood-letting release of angst and insecurities that heralds her as a striking new talent with the ability to wield edginess in an instantly accessible way.

Taken entirely upon its own merits, “F.W.M.N.” is a big introduction from an artist with world class potential. Yet it takes on a greater significance within the context of the 27-year-old’s life story. AKICITA grew up in the small town of Prior Lake, Minnesota, and was raised on the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux reservation. Her early life as an independent, confident and Disney-obsessed child was entirely normal. But her home life was changed by traumatic events, and her escapes to various boarding schools only resulted in further abuse. She broke away as soon as she could, as she headed to Los Angeles when she was 18 to pursue a career in music.

“F.W.M.N.” is AKICITA’s fourth and final release of 2023, she debuted at the beginning of the year with “You Already Know” and followed this with “Liquor” and “Monster”, all building a solid and sound platform in which to support Leona on her first set of live shows for some years. Not only that, her four superb singles to date form the foundations of a spectacular career ahead of her. But we already knew that!
