				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Delving into the vulnerable themes of heartbreak and letting go, the London-based singer Francesca Morris released her powerful single <em>&#8220;Where&#8217;d You Go&#8221;</em> on the the sixth of October. Combining pain fuelled lyrics, driving, steady drums and a production quality that intensifies as the song progresses, the songwriter has perfectly captured the deep emotion of loss.</p>
<p>In an interview with Mxdwn Magazine she spoke about her emotions during the writing process <em>“I wrote this song a week after having someone I loved seemingly completely change their attitude to me overnight, and I went in the studio straight away with Paul Stanborough to produce the song. I think the initial anger, hurt and confusion I felt in those first few weeks really comes across in the final production”.</em></p>
<p>The London-based artist, who has been writing and performing music since the age of 12, released her debut single &#8216;<em>Never Will&#8217;</em> on Spotify, Apple Music, Youtube, iTunes and Amazon in August 2023. She has named alt-pop artists such as Holly Humberstone and BLÜ EYES as strong influences in her writing.</p>
<p><em>&#8216;Where’d You Go&#8217;</em> was produced by Paul Stanborough (Kylie Minogue, Natasha Bedingeld, Benedict Cork) and Morris thanked Stanborough for his &#8220;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/francesca__morris/?hl=en-gb"><em>musical genius</em></a><i>&#8220;</i> in her release day Instagram post.</p>
<p>Listen to the song here:<br />

<p>Collaborating with songwriters all over the globe, the artist has seen her work played on Radio 1, BBC Introducing, Love Island and has been featured on both New Music Friday UK Notable Releases. Through studying Music at Leeds College of Music and ICMP, Francesca&#8217;s passion for songwriting, specifically toplining, only grew stronger. She has a vast network of writers who she regularly works with and her versatility and creativity seemingly showers in to each writing session she attends.</p>
<p>The Brighton born, BRIT School alumna has announced two upcoming live UK dates in both Brighton and London with the first being a showcase at The Camden Club on the first of November. The Chalk Farm based venue has started a new evening of artist showcases which is free to attend. Joining the singer will be Amaya and The Echoes and Bonita Delaney.</p>
<p>On the sixteenth of November, Morris will join Shoegaze and Dreampop inspired artist Oliver Beardmore and Maida Rose on the Brighton leg of their tour at The Folklore Rooms. Tickets can be bought <a href="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/live-at-the-camden-club-tickets-714999712387">here.</a>  The singer is definitely one to watch &#8211; with more live shows and music in the new year, there is plenty more on it&#8217;s way.</p>
<p>To see Francesca live, get tickets to the singer&#8217;s next show at The Camden Club <a href="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/live-at-the-camden-club-tickets-714999712387">here:</a></p>
