Frenchie Releases New Song “Distance”
London-based French-English singer-songwriter Frenchie released a new song “Distance” on February 12, 2025.
The song is the third single off of her upcoming self-titled debut album, which is set to be released on March 28, 2025.
The track examines the complexities of connection, and explores how silence and unaddressed issues can create an emotional chasm, even as time passes.
It was written by Aaron Taylor and Francesca Hole. Produced by Femi Temowo.
Frenchie said of the song, “This song delves into the themes of distance, silence, unspoken words, and the passage of time. In the chorus, my aim was to challenge the phrase that 'distance makes the heart grow fonder', offering a counterpoint by suggesting that distance can, in reality, make the heart feel estranged. I collaborated on this piece with the very talented Aaron Paul Taylor, and our intention was for the song to resonate across various relationships, be it romantic love, friendships, or family dynamics.”- The debut album comprises 10 songs, featuring a guest appearance from London-based singer-songwriter Frida Touray, produced by Femi Temowo.
Frenchie set a goal to write three songs per term for her debut album, with each term and season bringing different themes of reflection lyrically, while she studied for a master's degree in psychotherapy and counseling. -
She said of the album, “The process was about allowing each season and psychotherapeutic module to reflect the emotional landscape of my experiences," Frenchie explains. "Themes explored include the search for meaning, unpacking personal and family dynamics, understanding mental health, and my struggles with people-pleasing. Through each song, the album becomes a narrative of self-discovery, emotional evolution, and the challenges of balancing personal desires in your early thirties with the realities of relationship dynamics, all underpinned by the therapeutic insights gained throughout the year.”
