Lyrics:
we take a walk in the city
no one knows me like you do
we climb the highest building
just to stop the time

pretending we’re so lazy
sleeping in the gallery
a somersault on the sidewalk
it’s just fantasy

only you
I can see you’re whole tonight
and I know you see me too

always / sometimes
I can see me in yourself
so I fall right by your side

we’re going down to the arcade
like a piece of modern art
but as you’re dressed for the moonlight
we’re just passing by

avenues are empty
watching forever as we leave
no stories are written
with no company

only you
I can see you’re whole tonight
and I know you see me too

always / sometimes
I can see me in yourself
so I fall right by your side

Only You

The Hitching Post

London-based artist Karima Francis has been captivating audiences for over a decade with their stunning and emotionally charged musical narratives. Through melancholic and enchanting songs, they skillfully navigate the intricate tapestry of human emotions, establishing a profound and enduring connection with listeners. Karima has not only mastered the art of using music as a potent medium to tell compelling stories but also excels in conveying raw, authentic emotions, fostering a deep and ongoing relationship with their audience.
Channeling inspiration from luminaries like Sharon Van Etten and Cat Power, Karima Francis seamlessly blends elements of indie soul and Americana. Their velvet vocals weave through the sonic landscape, enveloping listeners in a captivating embrace that transcends the ordinary.
The journey unfolds in Blackpool, where Karima sought refuge in music at the age of 17, initially through the rhythmic exploration of drumming. This early connection has blossomed into the genius musicality that defines their work today. Rooted in a tumultuous and challenging childhood, Karima's artistry draws strength from their robust working-class upbringing, infusing their creations with grit, power, undeniable passion, and a genuine care for the community.
The debut album, 'The Author,' released in 2009, garnered widespread critical acclaim, setting the stage for subsequent triumphs with albums like 'The Remedy' (2012) and 'Black' (2016). These releases not only showcased Karima's artistic prowess but also marked the onset of a transformative phase in their career.
From sharing stages with icons such as, Patti Smith, Stereophonics to notably supporting Paul Simon, Karima has solidified their reputation as a dynamic live performer. Collaborating with renowned producer Flood (Nine Inch Nails, Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, Depeche Mode) further elevated their musical journey.
Venturing into the vibrant alternative music scene of Los Angeles, Karima found a kindred spirit in producer Tim Carr (Perfume Genius, Hand Habits). Together, they've crafted mesmerizing singles like 'Say,' 'Carelessness Causes Fire,' 'Shelf Life,' and 'Orange Rose,' providing a captivating glimpse into the evolution of Karima’s queer and cool sound. Currently immersed in creating a new record, the upcoming album features contributions from Greg Uhlman (of Fellrunner and Perfume Genius) and Harrison Whitford ( of Phoebe Bridgers band), with mastering by Grammy-nominated Phillip Shaw Bova (Andy Shauf, Father John Misty).
Karima Francis continues to enchant audiences by seamlessly blending haunting melodies with honest lyrics and an alluring ambiance. Attending a Karima Francis gig is a transformative experience where music transcends mere performance, silencing crowds and leaving an indelible mark on all who bear witness to the magnetic, queer, and undeniably cool artistry of this exceptional artist. Immerse yourself in Karima's captivating world; each note is an invitation to a journey of emotions and musical brilliance, where queerness meets coolness in a harmonious celebration of authenticity.
