Francisca Thomas [2022] - Keeping On [Splash Blue] (EP)

Splash Blue announce the brand new EP release from Francisca Thomas "Keeping On".

It comprises of two beautiful, well-crafted and heartfelt tracks, both of which showcase Francisca’s considerable prowess, both as a writer and as a vocalist.

Francisca Thomas (nee Blasich) is from Cape Town, South Africa but has lived in UK since 2007 where she met and married UK soulster Kenny Thomas in 2008. She was a finalist in South Africa's Got Talent in 2003 but left the show during filming.

The lead track, a heartfelt ballad "Keeping On", was written and dedicated by Francisca to her 9 year old daughter Christina and all revenue generated from sales of the track will go directly towards the ongoing medical costs for Christina's care. If you weren't already aware, the funds are for specialist medical treatment for Christina, who has an inoperable brain tumour. She has been having treatment by medical experts in Germany which has succeeded in keeping her reasonably stable.

A second track "Forget Me Not" (vocal and instrumental versions) is a lovely, lilting ballad/stepper which is also being released as part of this EP package which will be available exclusively via the Splash Bandcamp on Wed 14 Sep and will be released worldwide on all of the major digital platforms on Friday (16 Sep).

Francisca last featured here in March 2021 with her last single "What Can I Say (Sir Piers 'curious' Radio Edit)".

I was chatting to Kenny only on Saturday regarding his new single "Contagious" which is due on 22nd Sep and he relayed that sadly his daughter has not been very well again in the last couple of weeks. Kenny was hospitalised last year with Covid so it's quite amazing with everything going on in their lives that they can still write and record music.

By sheer coincidence it is also Kenny's 54th birthday today, we wish him and his family all the very best in very difficult circumstances.
