Aoife Nessa Frances announces second album Protector
Aoife Nessa Frances has announced her second album (and first since signing to Partisan), Protector, and has released new single "Way To Say Goodbye" to accompany the news.
Following the release of "Emptiness Follows" in May, Frances has delivered another new single tiled "Way To Say Goodbye", which lands with a video directed by Ellius Grace. Both songs will appear on her forthcoming second album Protector.
Frances says of the new outing, ""Way To Say Goodbye" reflects the feelings when a relationship ends, the difficulty of letting something go. How fear of loneliness can make you hold on to something for too long after it no longer serves you. The process of writing this song was incredibly cathartic and healing."
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."
