FRANCESCA LOUISE – SINGLE REVIEW


Francesca Louise – Ride the Waters 

Release Date: Out Now

Having traded in her native North West for London, singer-songwriter Francesca Louise is carving out a nice niche for herself in folk world. The opening bars of ‘Ride the Waters’ are some of the most positive and uplifting I’ve heard in the last few months which is a particularly welcome sound at the moment. The warm strum of the acoustic guitar and driving beat lift the spirits and make you take a deep, cleansing breath as you prepare to start all over again. Vibe wise, this is somewhere between Laura Marling, Sound of the Sirens and the Indigo Girls but Francesca Louise has a superbly distinctive voice that soars with newly discovered freedom and puts a spring in your step. Beautiful.
