like a loon call from across the lake in the dead of summer, a reminder to keep forging ahead with hope and spark

Loon Song

White Flag

"je sais plus quoi te dire" was originally written for a TV pitch, but I quickly fell in love and wanted to share it with you. The prompt for the pitch was to emulate a 60’s pop tune from the French Yé-yé era…
did I hit the mark? Hope it makes you dance : )

Slow Morning

23-year-old Francesca Blanchard has been called a "a profound, mature talent” who "displays guile and artistic sensitivity that would be the envy of many tunesmiths twice her age. She may be young, but she has an old soul.” (Seven Days) Born and raised in France, Francesca traveled the globe with her family before settling in the small town of Charlotte in beautiful rural Vermont. Her intimate music, sung in French and English, reflects on her travels, both physical and emotional, and reflects influences ranging from Norah Jones and Carla Bruni to Eva Cassidy and Francoise Hardy. 

Francesca has opened for Joan Armatrading, Suzanne Vega, Caravan Palace, the Parkington Sisters, Joseph and performed at the prestigious Francofolies Festival in Montreal in 2013. Francesca's rendition of the classic French song “Sous Le Ciel de Paris” was featured on the Putumayo collection Vintage France and her recording of "Petit Papa Noel" appeared on Putumayo’s recent French Christmas collection. 

Francesca's first full-length album will be released on October 2, 2015 and was produced by Montreal singer-songwriter Chris Velan (Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars) and mixed by acclaimed producer Jean Massicotte (Lhasa, Patrick Watson, Arthur H, Jorane).

i had a dream you spent new year’s with me
you flew all the way to paris for one night
you always said you’d make it here one day
and i thought that if i stayed, you just might
come and find me, come and find me

i had a dream our kids on the lawn
and your mother loving me like her own
i'll probably stop holding on to the hope
and eventually a part of me will know
you won’t come and find me, come and find me

maybe ill try sleeping with one eye
open for the rest of the night
pay close attention to the noise outside
and wait until the flashbacks subside

(oh keep fighting, keep fighting for me)
