160g #October Issue
This is FRANCIS AND THE LIGHTS! The man whose footwork ON STAGE rivals the Michael Jackson moonwalk. The ladies man who wears all black. Already written up by Kanye West, after 3 albums in only 2 years. Francis on the lights is definetely a "Modern Promise". Few hours before his show at Highline Ballroom in NYC, Francis received our photographer Cameron Krone in his recording studio in the midst of Chinatown.

From the band behind him, we know only few things. Formed at Wesleyan University few years ago. FRANCIS AND THE LIGHTS is led by the charismatic and mysterious Francis Farewell Starlite. The sound is a perfect mix between Prince and Phil Collins. "Striking" was the first album in 2007, then "Lime/Wyn" in 2008 and "A Modern Promise" the last one.
