Digging into the obstacles and hardships long-distance relationships face, indie-folk singer/songwriter Fran Lusty dropped her latest single Oceans Apart. Released on the 28th of April 2023, Oceans Apart takes us on an emotional journey that hits deep. Let me tell you more about it.
With voice and melodies from the magic land where Alanis and Dolores came from, Fran Lusty opened Oceans Apart and she instantly won me. Fran Lusty created a smooth fluid structure that’s dynamically led by her warm vocal melody while arranging her rock and folk influences in perfect harmony. She cleverly used all her elements in producing a dreamy multi-layered sound, that’s connected in a stream of melodies that keeps the listener hooked and entertained while channeling loads of deep emotions with its soft dynamic shifts and bright tone.
Oceans Apart sends a subtle sense of nostalgia to 90s and 2000s alternative fans like myself, as its folky core is covered in alternative influences that were cleverly handled by Fran Lusty, as she doesn’t “sound” like anyone but herself. She shows a good sense of melody and well knowledge of her sound and direction as she steered her sound, creating something fresh and new. Looking forward to more from Fran Lusty, keep on rocking. Cheers!
