Tom Francis's New Album From Up There Is Music In It's Purest Form

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Singer/songwriter on Rise, Tom Francis's stunning new album is now available. Francis has created a beautifully soulful work. From Up There is deliberately simple in it's composition and it's production. It is music in it's purest form, hypnotic rhythms, warm lilting keyboards and Francis's voice weaving stories that take you in and out of light. Early reviews have been positive 'Incredibly beautiful, I'm floored by this record...' Jon Rezin, 9 Star Media.

Francis has spent the last year street performing and playing intimate house concerts 'It's been a great experience for me taking music back to the purity of a musician and an instrument... the romance and simplicity of street performing has been a nice change after playing indoor a lot in Melbourne' It's this same quest for simplicity and connection that has shaped the superb new record.

Tom co produced the album with Aria nominated producer Anthony Lycenko, both of whom stood back and let the live performances shine, leaving breathing space between the rich harmony layered chorus and subtle instrumental flourishes. "It was about capturing the emotional power and coherency of a live performance... James (drummer) and I had a nice chemistry in the studio which gave the core of the songs a great feel...'

Tour dates planned for January/Feb around Australia. Up coming radio play on Delta Radio, Germany. First single 'Rise' featured on popular online Blog, Hilly Dilly - 'There's no doubting the feelings this track transcribes..' Chad Hillard, Hilly Dilly.
