Frances Mistry shines on dreamy new single ‘New Hands to Hold’
Brighton-based indie-folk artist Frances Mistry returns with ‘New Hands to Hold,’ a blissful and heartfelt track that balances warmth and gratitude.
Built on soft yet assured vocals, ‘New Hands to Hold’ captures a reflective emotional depth, shaped by airy instrumentals and gentle melodies. Mistry’s songwriting feels personal yet universal, drawing from past struggles while embracing the support of newfound friendships. Inspired by artists like Clairo, Faye Webster, and Beabadoobee, her music creates a comforting space for listeners, wrapping introspective lyrics in a hazy indie-folk atmosphere.
Speaking on the story behind ‘New Hands to Hold,’ Frances Mistry shares:
“This is a song I wrote about appreciating my friends after having a bad experience previously which really knocked my confidence and mental health. It’s just a song reflecting on that and how having caring and loving friends makes such a difference.”
As she prepares for the release of her third EP in Spring 2025, ‘New Hands to Hold’ offers a glimpse into an exciting year ahead for Mistry. ‘New Hands to Hold’ is out now via APOLLO Distribution.
