supermodel* Returns With the Bright, Offbeat Charm of “cherry garcia”
supermodel* is back with “cherry garcia,” a fresh new single from Los Angeles-based artist and producer Frankie Beanie. Released May 8, 2026, the track brings a colorful blend of alt-pop charm, ’90s-inspired textures, and a playful story about falling in love while trying to keep it cool.
Built on slacker guitar, turntable cuts, and a laid-back groove, “cherry garcia” has a sunlit energy that feels loose, catchy, and full of personality. Frankie’s half-sung, deadpan delivery gives the song its unique edge, while the lyrics turn small everyday details into something bigger and more romantic. What starts as a casual crush slowly grows into thoughts of forever, giving the track a sweet emotional center beneath its quirky surface.
The official music video adds another layer to the release, following Frankie through a choreographed routine outside and inside a donut shop as he tries to win over the woman behind the counter. Her reaction shifts from annoyed to amused before the fantasy snaps back to reality, making the visual playful, awkward, and endearing in a way that fits the song perfectly.
After last year’s self-titled supermodel* ep, which pulled from punk, UK indie, hip-hop, and dance culture, “cherry garcia” shows Frankie continuing to build a world that is catchy, strange, sincere, and fully his own. It is another strong step for a project that thrives on personality, unpredictability, and heart.
Listen to “cherry garcia,” watch the official video, and keep an eye on supermodel* as this next chapter continues.
