Frances delivers new singles 'Ocean In Gold' and 'Rare'

With her highly-anticipated new album set to land next month, Frances has now returned to share a pair of brand new singles.

The new tracks 'Ocean In Gold' and 'Rare' follow on from the previously shared cuts 'Other Side Of The World' and 'Eclipse' in previewing her sophomore LP 'Wonder', which is out on the 9th April.

Speaking about the new offerings, she said, "These songs have always been a pair in my mind which is why I felt I had to release them both together. They’re both just about being totally in awe of somebody. I remember when the lyric ‘my love you’re worth the weight of the ocean in gold’ came into my mind, it actually brought a tear to my eye because I felt I’d finally summed up that feeling of awe. Weirdly, 'Rare' was written about five years before 'Ocean In Gold', but it’s like it was always waiting for its partner and now they can finally be released together."
