What caught our attention in ‘We Beat as One’ were Alex Francis’ dynamic, evocative vocals, a slice of relatable poignancy that’s quite rare to come by. For anyone familiar with the English troubadour’s celebrated catalogue, it won’t come as a surprise: having amassed millions of listeners on Spotify alone, Francis is a confirmed success, a celebrated and hyped creative with the ability to hypnotize listeners worldwide.
How? – you might ask. Well, take for instance his latest effort ‘We Beat as One’. Built on wholesome alt-folk and power-pop energy, the track takes a cue from Francis’ heartwarming and nuanced vocal tone, following up with a stream of uplifting and nostalgic instrumental extravaganza. The sonic formula is absolutely world-class, as is the production, courtesy of Grammy Award-winning production team Metrophonic. The single is released via Stanley Park Records.
If you fancy seeing Francis live, he’s set to headline The Half Moon, Putney for Independent Venue Week on January 30, and will return to his hometown next summer to open for Ocean Colour Scene at The Park Series in Hitchin on July 18.
