For some people, music isn’t a career choice: it’s a way to experience the world, to find your place and communicate with the rest of mankind. For Gregory Hoepffner, writing and producing music is as vital as water and air. His G.H. Francis project bloomed from a life journey of releasing records and touring all over the world, with multifaceted projects like Almeeva, Sure, Ghoster, Kid North, Time To Burn, Kabbel, and performing with Bernard Szajner, the laser-harp inventor.

Fully pop, urgent, G.H. Francis relies on the vitality and shape-shifting ability of an artist who intentionally places light and catchy music on top of deeply personal thoughts, somewhere between catharsis and auto biography. His new EP “Why Does Anyone?” is a collection of synthetic pop songs, showcasing a robust production that never overpowers the emotional content, where the hedonism and frivolity call out for a celebration of our fragile existence.

With the new record, G.H. Francis successfully revives the spontaneity of meaningful pop music, both accessible and profound. And eventually essential. His new single from the EP, ‘Without You’ is an upbeat indie-rock gem with a haunting hook, interlacing vocals and synthesizer layers and follows the acclaimed recent single ‘The Only Queer In The Van’. The track was co-produced with Christoffer Berg, who’s known for his work with Depeche Mode, Fever Ray, The Knife, and more recently Amen Dunes. The video for ‘Without You’ sees G.H. Francis perform the track in amongst vivid colours, combined with nostalgic DIY visuals.

“Without You”, is out now!

New EP “Why Does Anyone?” out 14^th June.

Dmillyyy kicked off the month of love with the lead single, “Balance.” “Balance” was Dmillyyy’s first song of the year. The record served as a teaser for his new EP, Cupid Pack, which was released on Valentine’s Day. Cupid Pack is a five-track EP that dives into the intricacies of love. The EP is an eclectic body of work as it utilizes various genres of music, such as Alternative R&B, Melodic Rap, and Reggaeton.

Cupid Pack starts off with the song, “Thunderstruck.” The track is a record that features a wavy beat and Dmillyyy’s smooth flow. The sound is reminiscent of Jaden. The next track, “Balance,” is a fan favorite and for good reason. “Balance” has a bouncy beat that makes listeners want to groove. The record has a Drake feel to it. The catchy hook reels you in immediately. Dmillyyy cleverly sprinkles in some Spanish lyrics, which are a prelude to the third track on the EP. “Q.M. Interludio” follows “Balance.” The Latin Music interlude showcases the versatility that Dmillyyy possesses. The penultimate track, “WYGD,” is a downtempo, love song that is enchanting. The tune has a sample that blends well with the theme of the song. “WYGD” sets up the EP’s closer as “Madness” is another slow jam. “Madness” is the perfect finale. The sensual track embodies passion and love.

The EP’s introspective/extrospective take on love provides all listeners with songs that resonate with them. Although each song has its own flavor and unique sound, they still connect and carry a cohesive message. “Cupid Pack is an image painted to describe different emotions that may arise for particular love interests.” Dmillyyy continues: “Sometimes it isn’t that serious and just the feeling that you want to cherish. Sometimes the other’s existence makes you want to question everything and reflect back on your own life. Either way, both parties are living in the moment and letting that lead the way.” Cupid Pack is only the beginning as Dmillyyy has much in store for the year. While waiting for his next masterpiece, be sure to show love to the immaculate EP that is Cupid Pack.
