G.H.Francis Premieres Music Video for Lavish Single “The Only Queer In The Van”

For some people, music isn’t a career choice; it’s a way to experience the world, find your place and communicate with the rest of mankind. For Gregory Hoepffner, writing and producing music is as vital as water and air. His G.H.Francis project bloomed from a life journey of releasing records and touring all over the world, with multifaceted projects like Almeeva, Sure, Ghoster, Kid North, Time To Burn, Kabbel, and performing with Bernard Szajner, the laser-harp inventor.

Fully pop and urgent, G.H.Francis relies on the vitality and shape-shifting ability of an artist who intentionally places light and catchy music on top of deeply personal thoughts, somewhere between catharsis and autobiography. His new EP, Why Does Anyone? is a collection of synthetic pop songs, showcasing a robust production that never overpowers the emotional content, where the hedonism and frivolity call out for a celebration of our fragile existence.

With the new record, Why Does Anyone?, G.H. Francis successfully revives the spontaneity of meaningful pop music, both accessible and profound. And eventually essential. No more evident is this than on the new single “The Only Queer In The Van,” a track that evokes a difficult coming-out while touring in a rock band. It’s a lavishly arranged and surprisingly ‘pop’ song with a video that beautifully conjures the feeling of being an outsider with its stunning imagery.

Speaking about the single, Francis tells us:

“That show was magic because we got to play with one of my favorite artists of all time, LA Priest, in my favorite venue in Paris. It’s one of those moments where all the planets align for a good time, all you have to do is turn up and ride on it. The guy shouting “Internet” is of course a friend. I didn’t hear it from the stage during the show, but laughed hard when I discovered it on the video later.”

“The Only Queen In The Van” is out now and available from here. If you want to pre-order your copy of the new EP Why Does Anyone?, which drops on June 14th, you can do so here.
