Fran Lusty achieves the beautifully sombre with her track ‘Don’t Pollinate’Fran Lusty’s new release ‘Don’t Pollinate’ is a beautifully sombre track that smoothly lulls a listener whilst exploring an issue that is very relatable for most people, especially in recent years. The song describes a dynamic with an older family member who has very conservative views. ‘Don’t Pollinate’ is said to be about “building your own vision” and attempting to escape seeing the world through a lens constructed by the older generations in your life. Fran approaches this issue through the means of her gentle and uniquely soulful vocals over a gentle acoustic guitar, at times the song is deepened by piano notes and harmonies which add a surprising layer.
This track was made by Fran and one of her friends in a series of bedrooms, giving it a wholesome and homely feel. Fran, who has been playing guitar since she was young having been given one by her grandmother, identifies some of her influences as Damien Rice, KT Tunstall and Julien Baker. The track is simultaneously beautiful and heart wrenching and definitely solidifies Fran as someone to watch in the folk-pop music scene.
