Sick of frontmen lacking stage presence, making you question if they even enjoy their own music? Francis Farewell Starlite may be the cure. Fellow scenemaker and Cantora Records labelmate, William Johnson of Gordon Voidwell, once said in a Deli interview that Starlite “is easily the most impressive dancer I’ve played a show with.” A quick search on YouTube renders numerous live videos of him showing off some sweet dance moves, opening for no-big-deal acts Drake and MGMT. Starlite heads Francis and the Lights, a band that successfully fuses funk, soul, country and electropop. His malleable voice that often soars into falsetto ties these often opposing forces together. To get an idea of this conflicting yet satisfying sound, think of the best possible result of a Prince and Phil Collins collaboration. The band has a good amount of cred as they can count Kanye West and Drake as fans. They covered West’s “Can’t Tell Me Nothing,” which was posted on the artist’s notoriously ridiculous blog last year, and the band not only opened for Drake earlier this year, but Starlite also helped produced “Karaoke” off of his latest album, “Thank Me Later.” Bring your dancing shoes and head over to Terminal 5 on November 17 to catch Francis and the Lights open for Brit synthpoppers La Roux. – Nancy Chow
