Frances Mistry captures queer longing on glistening new single ‘when i look in her eyes’
Brighton-based singer-songwriter Frances Mistry returns with ‘when i look in her eyes,’ a tender and vulnerable new single lifted from her forthcoming debut EP, conversations with those i love, due out May 23rd.
Built around soft acoustic guitar, subtle percussion, and Mistry’s featherlight vocals, ‘when i look in her eyes’ explores the quiet ache of queer longing through introspective, poetic lyricism. It’s one of her most emotionally raw tracks yet, touching on the complexities of same-gender attraction, unspoken feelings, and the tension between friendship and desire. The song marks Mistry’s first openly queer release, adding another layer of personal resonance to an already intimate track.
Mistry shares:
“This is one of my favourite songs I’ve ever made and it feels so special. It’s about liking someone of the same gender but ultimately questioning yourself. Personally, my experience is from the point of view of having never dated anyone so how am I really sure I know what I’m feeling? It’s also about not wanting to lose a friend because you like them in that way so just moving on and keeping that to yourself. This is my first openly queer song and so to finally let everyone hear it means a lot, but is also quite daunting.”
‘when i look in her eyes’ is out now via APOLLO Distribution.
