Francis Novotny‘s first single of 2019, “Blame”, is out on CloudKid.
One year after “The Wire“, Swedish singer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Francis Novotny is back with another electro-pop song that draws inspiration from relationship flaws. Singing about the efforts he made to save his couple, the artist combines bare introspections and nocturnal soundscapes in what he describes as a “musical journey”. Turning these hardships into a growing experience, he said of the track:
This is actually a really old song about a pretty dysfunctional relationship between two people, and how it’s important not to blame yourself for stupid things the other person has done; but also not blaming yourself for bad decisions that you made yourself.

![Even if Caitlin Brown grew up in the “the UK’s sunniest town”, for what it’s worth, the musician and producer’s childhood was no picnic. As a young neuro-divergent and LGBTQ+ person, their coming of age was marked by isolation and boredom. Their music project, pinkpirate, was a way to overcome these feelings. Following a series of self-released tracks, including the successful “Nowhere” in 2021, Brown is now readying the release of their new EP, i don’t want to grow up boring, out in September via [PIAS] Recordings. After “Do You Want It All?”, they just unveiled a new track off the project, “Daisy”, which was also co-produced by Bullion. It comes with a Theo Batterham-directed video, shot in the LGBTQ+-friendly city of Brighton, with their partner.
“I started writing ‘Daisy’ when my girlfriend joked about me writing a song for her within the first few weeks of our relationship,” stated Brown about the track which depicts a positive queer romance. “I wanted to try and capture the innocence of a brand new relationship, especially within a WLW relationship that is often seen in a sexualised or demonised way.”
