Mike Francis The Balearic Sound Of Mike Francis

Hot new release from Sunkissed Recordings celebrating Italian synth pop hero Mike Francis aka Francesco Puccioni. Back in the 80s, Francis’ elegant electronic style and smooth rich vocals provided a perfect backdrop to nights dancing on the sand and in clubs throughout the Mediterranean and his popularity continues today amongst the Balearic cognoscenti. This EP features the fantastic in-demand Club Mix of ‘Features of Love’, a funky pop-soul opus washed with lush synths, lazy guitars and dreamy vocals plus the sought-after long 12” cut of ‘Survivor’, a gorgeous slice of blue-eyed soul with a strong dancefloor sensibility. Flip over for big Cosmic play, the magnificent 12” version of ‘Body Thrill’, a bass-heavy chunky instrumental with an Art Of Noise feel followed by Francis’s beautiful laid-back cover of the Bill Withers’ classic ‘Lovely Day’ and lastly the heavenly hypnotic ‘On and On’, a little-known gem from the B-side from a rare 12”. A great package!
