about
With his highly-anticipated new EP ‘BE MINE’ set to arrive next month, emerging producer and frontman FRANÇOIS is now back to unveil one of the collection’s standout offerings ‘ONE DANCE’, which is out on the 25th November via Silent Kid Records.
Much like his work to date, ‘ONE DANCE’ sees the producer skirt the line between commercial and underground aesthetics to create the distinct and passionate flow that is quickly becoming his signature sound. Filled with euphoric electronics, textured atmosphere, and his own incredibly heartfelt vocal performance, this new delight looks to set up his new EP as a bold and captivating release that continues his fresh and engaging direction.
Featuring the three offerings ‘ONE DANCE’, ‘Young N Dumb’ and the collection’s title-track, The EP ‘BE MINE’ sees him continue the bright and uplifting alt-RnB sound he has cultivated for himself over the last few years. Bringing together a rich array of smooth and diverse production up against his own sensual vocal style, these new cuts see him take a bold step forward in his sound.
While romance and lust remain a constant theme of these new singles, the main intention of his new EP is to create a retrospective snapshot of his personal relationships over his entire life. While the ‘Young N Dumb’ sees him look back on a broken romantic entanglement, and the track ‘BE MINE’ focuses on his wish for a love to move to the next level, ‘ONE DANCE’ sees him in a far broader and reflective mood. Filled with memories about his family and friends, with his own late grandfather providing the imagery for the song’s video, this release shows us his most personal and intimate side to date.
Speaking about the new EP, he said, “This EP was written about reminiscing. It touches on some personal memories and some influence from watching the world go on around me. The whole EP was written over a few days and finished whilst spending some time recording in London. I hope people can feel touched and relate to the lyrics in ways that will feel personal to them.”
‘BE MINE’ is set for release on 18th December 2020 via Silent Kid Records, with ONE DANCE dropping on the 25th November.
lyrics
You and I are getting older Things becoming harder Nothing stops us, no
Never wanna be a no show Never wanna slow down Nothing stops us, no
Do we think too much about facts that try to slow us down Trying to be something real
Always talk too much about facts that try to slow us down But I want you tonight
What we got is one dance, one dance
You and I at midnight dance until it's late night
What we got is one dance, one dance
You and I at midnight dance until it's late night late night
You and I will never slow down Waiting for the chance to Nothing stops us, no
Never wanna be the boy who Walks in to the distance Slowly fading out
Do we think too much about facts that try to slow us down Trying to be something real
Always talk too much about facts that try to slow us down But I want you tonight
What we got is one dance, one dance
You and I at midnight dance until it's late night
What we got is one dance, one dance
You and I at midnight, dance until it's late night late night
I'll love you till we're older
Someday we’ll grow stronger you and I We go on as soldiers
But I want you tonight, do you want me too
One Dance
