Francis Bowie wears many hats: writer, singer, songwriter, painter, sculptor, designer and gallery owner.
But most importantly, I think it is what he brings to the table that impresses me most.
Francis has one goal and he is founding a new musical genre to achieve it: Intelligent Pop Music or IPM.
Finding himself disappointed by many pop musicians and producers who seem to only be making music to generate revenues, Francis Bowie is here to bring back quality, meaningful music. He states, “Quality, art, message, love, feelings, justice, politics, poverty and power seem to be forgotten in the race for a stupid radio hit.”
I concur.
Not being a fan of pop music..actually I don’t listen to anything considered pop…I wasn’t sure what to expect when I decided to listen. So what happened?
He delivers. This is indeed some of the most intelligent pop music I have listened to in my adult life. This 4 track EP is a journey through Bowie’s creativity and any one who appreciates music (or any creative process) will appreciate what Francis has to offer.
It’s Pop. It’s Intelligent. It’s Epic. And, you can grab the EP for $3!
Did I mention he is from Denmark?
