Frances Whitney is a California-born newcomer who has been gaining steady momentum in recent months, thanks to her captivating take on alt-pop music.
New single ‘Holding On’ is one of the catchiest pieces of music that you’ll likely come across this weekend. Sonically, the track feels nostalgic while also maintaining a modern indie edge. On the lyrics, Frances says:
“I wrote ‘Holding On’ about dating a fellow creative — which was profound, inspiring, and completely unsustainable. In the song, there’s an interpolation of Don Henley’s lyric about his romance with Stevie Nicks — “I was either standing in your shadow or blocking your light” — which summed up well how I felt in the aftermath. Ultimately, ‘Holding On’ is about connecting deeply with someone for a season, knowing it won’t last.”
The song follows on from Whitney’s debut single ‘Easy Street’ (listen here), which has accumulated close to 100k streams on Spotify to date. This is an artist to watch!
