Top Tracks: Francesca Louise – Waiting For You

We all need a little push once in a while. Someone to spur us on to take the leap when presented with new challenges and opportunities. As heartening as it is to have people in our lives who embolden us to be better and step out of our comfort zone, often the only encouraging voice at hand when we need one is our own. It’s all too easy to dismiss that inner voice as a hypocrite; the one that built the comfort zone you’re so scared to step out of in the first place, the one most afraid of failure. Yet take a moment to trust in yourself and you’ll find no one more understanding of where you’re at, of what you’re capable of, and of what it would mean to succeed. ‘Waiting For You’, the gorgeous new single from Belwood favourite Francesca Louise, plays as an encouraging reminder to herself to take the plunge into the unknown. Fittingly Francesca’s vocals sound more comforting and assured than ever, and clips of her own travels and adventures featured in the charming lyric video echo the promise of brighter days ahead. The warm folk arrangement shimmers like golden hour sun on rippling water, before building towards a triumphant, uplifting finale that feels like feeling that same sun warm your skin as you begin truly believing your own encouraging words.
