Currently based in Los Angeles, Francesca Blanchard is a singer-songwriter from the South of France. Blending complex emotional subtleties with catchy hooks, her new single Quit Music deals with the loving feeling every partner of an unsuccessful musician will recognise. Utterly beautiful.

Also check her same-titled EP, exclusively on Bandcamp.

Quit Music by Francesca Blanchard is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. It will be prominently displayed at the top of the blog for an entire week.
