The eager anticipation is over; Ben Francis has just released his dynamic, long-awaited single, "Dancing with Somebody New", and fans are loving it! "Dancing with Somebody New" seamlessly bridges the danceability of upbeat, rhythmic pop with relatable lyrics and raw emotions that make us confront ourselves. Francis tackles the attempt to start a fresh, untampered chapter of life whilst still being burdened by the image of a past lover. Francis carefully balances the complexity of rendering in the remnants of the past and relinquishing oneself with new experiences, a bittersweet tug-of-war made all the more captivating with the upbeat instrumentals. Even though Francis struggles to escape the hold of his old partner, drawing comparisons with this new somebody, he manages to take the first step and encourage the listener. Unable to entirely let go of all that was, Francis' song translates his desperation and honesty through a unique lens that leaves a lasting effect on the listener. "Dancing with Somebody New" is sincere, raw, lively, past-ridden, and melodic all at once, marking the roller coaster that is love. Get up, get moving, and get a tissue for this dance-pop anthem!



"Dancing with Somebody New" is just as catchy as it is emotive and heartfelt, giving the song an extra layer of charm we simply can't get enough of. Francis' impressive vocals on this track ground us in that familiar, shared sense of longing for someone that we are no longer tied to. Subtle, yet powerful, Francis perfectly captures his conflict through his verses. In the background, we hear steady synths, a soft drum beat, and a strong baseline that stabilizes the listener while still highlighting matching Francis' lyrics and tone. As the song naturally swells and recedes, both instrumental and emotional tension are maintained throughout its entirety, tugging at the listener's chest. Francis finds a sweet balance between danceable pop and an authentic story that reaches the listener's inner dancer as well as their heart. Transformative, introspective, and extremely memorable, "Dancing with Somebody New" is the best song to keep on repeat!
