Consisting of singer-songwriter Alex Wesley and an ever changing collection of musicians that create the music, Francis is a Milton Keynes based collective. Born in Milton Keynes, Alex began playing music at the age of 4 with learning the piano before comfortable landing on the guitar as well. Influences include Foo Fighters and Coldplay, βFade Awayβ is the most recent release from Francis. With releasing debut EP βThe Long Way Back Aroundβ back in January, the fanbase is growing and the songs are getting stronger.
About hoping that feelings donβt fade away, Francis captures the βhoneymoon periodβ of how couples are besotted in that phase of the relationship. Blending the love atmosphere with a Guns N Roses meets Corey Taylor essence, the single is emotional to say the least. We hear lead vocalist Alex quite vulnerable, proving the track is personal to him. As for the production, itβs polished but thereβs some raw essence to it making it a lot more human. I feel the track isnβt as strong as the arrangement itself, but Alexβs vocals fit all the pieces together nicely.Β
