Malawian-born singer-songwriter Marco Woolf announces a new EP, “Francine, i”. This marks Woolf’s first release since his “lush and introspective” (Match&Fuse | Worldwide FM) 2018 debut EP, “self”.
Over the last 3 years, Marco Woolf has developed a penchant for storytelling, at most of his live performances the audience has come to expect strange and intriguing poetic anecdotes (that are usually completely improvised!) The stories often shine a light on wonderfully grounded characters caught in very human moments, characters that are universally relatable, however, Marco noticed that one character seemed to be having much more of an impact than any other.
“I started to explore how I wanted to use stories in my live shows. Whilst on tour, I told a few stories featuring different characters but it was always the ones featuring this woman, Francine, that garnered the most responses by far. At least 5 people at the end of the show would come up to me and ask “Who is Francine?” After that tour I went home and sat down to try to answer that question, that’s when the first seeds of music began to sprout.”
This release will be a joint venture with UK-based independent label Phlexx Records.
