Changes, running through my life And you get farther, and farther behind me But I’m not answering For anything I did anymore Changes, running through my life And it gets harder and harder to find me But I’m not living The way I did anymore There’s a lot of people round and they’re saying That there’s something not right with me Just sitting here hoping and praying That you’ll be the one to see Taken a wrong turn once or twice And I’m not really sure how to live my life I’ll just take it slow, I’ll just take it slow Changes, running through my life And you get smaller and smaller inside me And I’m not living The way I did anymore There’s a lot of people round and they’re saying That there’s something not right with me Just sitting here hoping and praying I’ll just take it slow There’s a lot of people round and they’re saying That there’s something not right with me Just sitting here hoping and praying And it gets harder There’s a lot of people round and they’re saying That there’s something not right with me Just sitting here hoping and praying I’ll just take it slow and it gets harder

about

"I just wanted to be honest about everything, from my musical influences to my story," muses Neal Francis. After years of dishonest living -- consumed by drugs, alcohol, and addiction -- such sincerity is jarring from the 30-year-old Chicago-based musician. Liberated from a self-destructive past and born anew in sobriety, Francis has captured an inspired collection of songs steeped in New Orleans rhythms and Chicago blues. His music evokes a bygone era of R&B's heyday while simultaneously forging a new path on the musical landscape. We are excited to be releasing this 45 as a tease of what's to come from Neal's full-length LP this fall.

about

Neal Francis Chicago, Illinois

Neal Francis’ sophomore album ‘In Plain Sight’ offers up a body of work both enchanting and painfully self-aware, recorded entirely on tape with his bandmates. Mixed by Grammy Award-winner Dave Fridmann (Spoon, Tame Impala, Flaming Lips), the album spotlights Francis’s refined yet free-spirited performance on piano, an instrument he took up at the age of four. ... more
