FONTEYN

UK native Fonteyn spent her formative years pursuing Musical Theatre and acting in England, but it wasn’t until she started making music that she felt able to express herself authentically. Writing songs provided a home for her idiosyncrasies to coexist. Bewitched by the sound of the 70’s, Fonteyn draws from her musical idols, Carole King, Todd Rundgren and Paul McCartney, to name a few. Her debut album “Trip the light Fantastic” offers music centered around rainbow chords and melody. The songs are playful, sentimental, and offer a sense of the theatrical. Fonteyn wants to take you by the hand and sweep you into another time and place. "Trip the light Fantastic" is an introduction to Fonteyn's songwriting and musical soundscape. Drawing from a rainbow of influences in 1970's pop, the album is a hedonistic exploration of melody with each song in  pursuit of a particular musical feeling.

Fonteyn’s vocals are glossed with a vintage melodic sheen, bolstered by honeyed harmonies, and an effortlessly playful feel. Though nostalgic retrospectives often come tinged with an undercurrent of heartbreak and longing, “Savannah” is filled with irresistible joy, offering a dose of fluttering melodies perfect as the early days of summer approach. - Under The Radar Mag

Fonteyn—has a knack for crafting sepia-tone sunshine pop - FLOOD Magazine

I love Todd Rundgren. “These Days” pulls that “Hello, It’s Me” piano and pushes it into a cloudless part of the sky circumnavigated by headier modern groups like Drugdealer, Jessica Pratt, and Weyes Blood. - Post Trash
