JW Francis has shared his new single "Going Home to a Party" as the fifth preview of his upcoming album Dream House.

"Going Home to a Party" is JW Francis' first outing of 2023, and will appear on his Dream House album with previous singles "Dream House", "I Wanna Be Your Basketball", "Casino" and "Our Story".

He says of the new release, ""Going Home to a Party" is a song that has a lot of references in it. The beat for example is a sped up version of the beat from "The Whole of the Moon" by the Waterboys. Similarly I wanted the video to have a lot of references related to how people perceive me. I've been compared to all three of the main characters in the video: Steve from Blues Clues, Mr. Rodgers, and Bob Ross. It's always joked that these three pillars of wholesomeness have a dark side so I wanted to bring that dark side to life and portray them cartoonishly getting into hijinks. Like all of my videos though, goodness wins in the end."

Dream House will follow his 2021 second album WANDERKID, and was written and recorded at the start of 2021 in NYC.

"Going Home to a Party" is out now. JW Francis' Dream House album will arrive via Sunday Best Recordings on 27 January, and is available to pre-order now.
