Dillon Francis Takes EDM In Sensitive Direction
. While in the studio with Orlando Higginbottom, better known as the DJ project Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs (TEED for short), Francis started talking about the girl he was dating at the time. "[TEED] kept smoking his cigarettes and I was just telling him about my life being like, 'My girlfriend, I want her to move out of my place, but I don't want her to think it's me breaking up with her, I want her to think it's us moving apart so that we can grow bigger together as a couple,'" Francis told Radio.com while at Lollapalooza over the weekend. The following day, the two were back in the studio and Francis heard TEED singing a new set of lyrics that sounded a bit too familiar. "He's like, 'I'm singing this about your exact situation right now, I'm actually basing it off everything you told me yesterday," Francis explained. "It was kind of amazing… I've never had a song written about my life, that's why it's so dear to me." Apparently, his fans are also connecting with the track's we're-breaking-up-but-everything's-going-to-be-fine theme. "A lot of people have been tweeting at me and on Facebook saying, 'I really relate to this, I totally understand what you're saying,'" Francis said, before quickly clarifying. "What he's saying about my relationship." On Francis' upcoming album, he plans to show more of his sensitive side, revealing that at least four songs on the record will be in the same vein as "Without You," which he says is a "great guide for everybody in a relationship." Listen to "Without You," released Tuesday (Aug. 6), here. Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
