“It’s All On You” is the first offering from Melbourne based electronic soul duo FRANCO. The song captures a moment in time when singer, Natalie Slade, had just been dumped via text on the morning of a recording session. Natalie’s song idea forms while production from Plutonic Lab takes shape. The clicks and pops of a vintage drum machine begin to loop along with some lush synth lines and Natalie’s sharp and poignant break up lyrics spontaneously pour out. The result being the sassy tune “It’s All On You”.

Australian award winning producer Plutonic Lab teams up with vocalist Natalie Slade to form the duos new project FRANCO. The name FRANCO came about from Natalie’s train journeys to and from Pluto’s studio, travelling past the old, weathered Franco Cozzo furniture store sign, just as Pluto texted to say ‘what should we call ourselves?’.

Musically inspired by just about everything, from the great jazz singers, golden era hip hop and slow jams, to artists like Willy Mitchell, Ennio Morricone, J Dilla, John Carpenter, Brian Wilson, Q-Tip, and soul singers like Otis redding, Marvin Gaye, and Curtis Mayfield.

The duo have been steadily writing and recording their debut EP over the last 6 months and are just now starting to share what they’ve been working on. With a live show consisting of electronics, live drums and vocals, the duo blend strands of R&B, electronic and indie into meaningful and beautifully crafted songs.
