Frances Mistry "Do I Belong Here?": Introspective Indie-folk Release

Brighton-based singer-songwriter Frances Mistry is back with “do i belong here?”—a gentle, introspective new single that channels the soul of the sea and the ache of self-reflection. The track is the latest glimpse into Frances’ upcoming EP, set to land later this spring.

Built around delicate fingerstyle guitar and soft-spoken vulnerability, the single captures the subtle weight of places we outgrow—and the power in reclaiming them. “I just wanted the music to speak for itself,” Frances explains. “I was reflecting on spaces that once felt like home but didn’t anymore… Brighton, the sea. Now I’ve found where I belong, and those places mean something new again.”

Stripped Back, Filled Up

Fans of Clairo, Faye Webster, and Beabadoobee will find a familiar warmth here, but Frances keeps it distinctly her own. “do i belong here?” is the kind of song you want to walk with—through winding streets, across sandy shores, or into moments of quiet reckoning.

Her previous single, “something has to give,” already turned heads on Spotify’s Fresh Finds Folk and indie blogs across the UK. With this new offering, she deepens her sonic palette and lyrical honesty, proving she’s not just here to sing—she’s here to say something.

One to Watch

Set to perform at The Great Escape in May, Frances is riding a well-deserved wave of momentum. With her third EP on the way and a reputation for crafting delicate, emotionally tuned-in songs that echo long after they end, Frances Mistry is fast becoming a quiet force in the indie-folk world.
