Aoife Nessa Frances shares new single "This Still Life"
Aoife Nessa Frances has released new single "This Still Life" as the third taster of her upcoming second album Protector.
After announcing Protector with "Way To Say Goodbye" in July, Aoife Nessa Frances has unveiled a new single titled "This Still Life", which she says is "about the juxtaposition of feeling small in an endless universe while reflecting on the significance of my own birth and existence. It’s about learning to move slowly through the world, listening to nature, and trusting that I can find my answers within."
Protector will follow Frances' 2020 debut album Land of No Junction, and was recorded in a small house in County Kerry with producer Brendan Jenkinson, Brendan Doherty (drums), Ailbhe Nic Oireachtaigh (string arrangements) and Conor O'Brien (horn arrangements).
"Writing and recording this album was a spiritual experience," Frances explains. "I experienced love for my family on a level I didn’t know existed, while slowly putting myself back together and watching the "protector" in me grow much bigger. Protector acknowledges the part of myself that steers me towards a brighter path."
"This Still Life" is out now. Aoife Nessa Frances' Protector album will be released 28 October via Partisan Records, and is available to pre-order now.
