UK singer-songwriter Frances Lion recently released her new single "Home" on May 28th with the audio premiering with American Songwriter and the music video going to Rolling Stone. This new single follows Frances Lion's 2020 "Van Sessions" series that saw Frances performing some of her tracks as well as covers live from the safety of her Van during Covid-19 lockdown in the UK. Frances Lion ended 2020 with a cover of Frank Sinatra & Nat King Cole's classic "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" which premiered with Under The Radar. Frances Lion has been making music for most of her life "Music was just there," she says, however, Frances knew that her small home town of Hampshire, England wasn't going to be the place for her to grow as an artist, so the moment she finished high school she set off to explore the world.
Her travels took her to places like France, and the Austrian Gold Coast, among others where she was able to branch out and grow as a musician. Through performing her original songs, as well as covers at local bars and venues, Frances' demo made its way to Los Angeles and into the hands of 4 Non Blondes front woman and hall of fame songwriter Linda Perry (Pink!, Christina Aguliar, Adele, Gwen Stefani). Once connected with Perry, Frances jumped right in and imminently began to write and create new music and that has pushed her to be the powerful singer- songwriter she is today.
When asked about her new single Frances Lion said, "I wrote 'Home' a few years ago about the small town I grew up in. Even though I always wanted to move away from it, it's forever remained a huge part of my identity. My brother produced this song at our parent's house during lockdown, and with a lack of resources we even had to rope my parents into being backing singers so it has even more of a 'home' feel than I had ever imagined."Listen here:
