Fresh from warming up the crowds at Pink’s Sydney shows, Aimee Francis will head out on our own to promote her new track “Losers’ Game”.
I really love this song. It’s a great tale of heartbreak with some genuine grit and angst behind it. I just wish it wasn’t so produced. That heavy-handed approach in the studio has diluted its impact a bit. I’d love to hear it stripped right back, perhaps with just an acoustic guitar and Aimee’s killer voice.
Aimee described it as a look “at the cynical side of love … I guess the wonderful experience of break up and all the levels of emotions that go with it – sadness, anger and maybe some sort of resentment and the questions”
It’s great to have this girl from Sydney’s inner west home, as she’s been enjoying an extended stay in the United States where she toured with Pat Benatar and Steel Panther and received endorsements from Gibson Guitars and Orange Amps.
“I am really excited to hit the road. My new band are all PHENOMENAL (and are eyecandy – crowd can thank me later),” she gushed. “I think this has been the most focused and ready that I’ve ever been and we are up to 20-odd dates on the tour which makes me reaaaaaaaally reaaaaaally giddy. Bring it.”
