We've been keeping close tabs on Berlin-based fraen again for a while now and there's a damn good reason for that. Well, a whole 5 of them, actually.

The talented artist just dropped her debut EP every cloud has a silver lining - a lush collection of soulful and mindful r&b-driven gems which document her journey of self-discovery, growth, and resilience.

“I’m more than happy to finally get this EP out to the world and the universe and give everyone a piece of my story, heart, and soul. every cloud has a silver lining.”, shares fran again.

The release is created in collaboration with German-Jamaican producer singer Tender Games and it represents a culmination of Francesca's life-long work and passion. It's also an avid evidence for her vocal prowess, songwriting skills, and emotional nuance, especially if you grant yourself the time to dig deeper into the lyrics of the song.

I picked "home now" - one of the few tracks we hadn't covered before (and personal favorite). When fraen again talks about the song, she quotes Amy Winehouse -"message was brutal, but the delivery was kind.” A laidback and chill song as an inner dialogue, led by a dream-pop guitar melody.
