Inspired by his experiences of singing with the Kingdom Choir at the Royal Wedding, James Francis releases his own positive message into the charts.

Just a couple of weeks after singing with the Kingdom Choir at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Royal Wedding, aspiring solo artist James Francis drops his new single “Free To Be Me“.

Free To Be Me” is the second single from singer-songwriter James Francis and producer Chris Morris. Recorded in London, the song fuses funk, soul, jazz and hip hop topped off with a fiery vocal performance dripping with emotion and conviction. The song’s powerful message of being comfortable in your own skin comes from James’ personal experience of being boxed into limiting stereotypes.

With lyrics like “won’t sacrifice all my dreams to be who you want me to be“, “Free To Be Me” unashamedly celebrates individuality and confidence in your own identity – A theme the Royal couple poignantly displayed at their wedding.

James’ first single “Want It All“, which was released in August 2017, was nominated for a Jump Music Video Award. His recent performances include tours with chart topping UK artist JP Cooper, and shows at the Royal Albert Hall with Josh Groban. His soulful vocals also feature in TV adverts for Tesco and The Great British Bake Off.

Directed by award-winning director Tyler Chalk, the video was filmed on a quiet residential road in Primrose Hill, London. The bright colors and iconic Victorian architecture are both a reflection of James’ quirky personality and his pride in being a born and bred Londoner.

James hopes “Free To Be Me” will see similar success to his choir’s Royal Wedding performance, which has already reached number 7 in the iTunes charts. “Free To Be Me” is a feel-good anthem for all and it is now available on all major digital platforms.
