Francesca Blanchard's first full-length album, "deux visions," will be released on October 2, 2015. It was produced by Montreal singer-songwriter Chris Velan (Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars) and mixed by acclaimed producer Jean Massicotte (Lhasa, Patrick Watson, Arthur H, Jorane).
23-year-old Francesca Blanchard has been called a "a profound, mature talent” who "displays guile and artistic sensitivity that would be the envy of many tunesmiths twice her age. She may be young, but she has an old soul.” (Seven Days)
Born and raised in France, Francesca traveled the globe with her family before settling in the small town of Charlotte in beautiful rural Vermont. Her intimate music, sung in French and English, reflects on her travels, both physical and emotional, and reflects influences ranging from Norah Jones and Carla Bruni to Eva Cassidy and Francoise Hardy.
Francesca has opened for Joan Armatrading, Suzanne Vega, Caravan Palace, the Parkington Sisters, Joseph and performed at the prestigious Francofolies Festival in Montreal in 2013. Francesca's rendition of the classic French song “Sous Le Ciel de Paris” was featured on the Putumayo collection Vintage France and her recording of "Petit Papa Noel" appeared on Putumayo’s recent French Christmas collection.

LYRICS IN FRENCH
Rame, rame, rame, mon âme
L’océan est troublé
Rame, rame, rame, mon âme
Côte en face hors vue
L’orage se rapproche
Si je l’avais su
Si je l’avais su
Pensées noires s’accrochent
Je n’aurais jamais cru
Je n’aurais jamais cru
Mais tout n’est pas perdu, non
Tout n’est pas perdu
Rame, rame, rame, mon âme
L’océan est troublé
Rame, rame, rame, mon âme
Côte en face hors vue
Je navigue aveugle
Mon bateau prend de l’eau
Bateau prend de l’eau
Mais quelque chose me souffle
Que demain il fera beau
Demain il fera beau
Tout n’est pas perdu
Tout n’est pas perdu
C’est pas que j’suis dur
Mon esprit reste un mystère
Mais j’entends le souffle
Quand les vagues me lancent en mer
Rame, rame, rame, mon âme
L’océan est troublé
Rame, rame, rame, mon âme
Côte en face hors vu
Rame, rame, rame, mon âme
Douleurs redoublées
Rame, rame, rame, mon âme
Compas marche plus
Oublies un peu les doutes
Domines un peu les peurs
Tu connais bien la route
Caché au fond de ton cœur

LYRICS IN ENGLISH
Row, row, row my soul
The ocean is so troubled
Row, row, row my soul
The shore is out of view
The storm is approaching
If only I had known
If only I had known
Darkest thoughts encroaching
I thought that I had grown
Thought that I had grown
But all is not lost, no
All is not lost
Row, row, row my soul
The ocean is so troubled
Row, row, row my soul
The shore is out of view
I paddle in the dark
The water fills my boat
Water fills my boat
But then I hear a whisper
That she will stay afloat
She will stay afloat
All is not lost
All is not lost
I am not a true believer
But my spirit has its ways
So I listen to the whisper
As I’m tackled by the waves
Row, row, row my soul
The ocean is so troubled
Row, row, row my soul
The shore is out of view
Row, row, row, my soul
Painfulness is doubled
Row, row, row my soul
Compass broken, too
Dominate your fear
Doubt no more your heart
The whisper in your ear
Says faith is where you start
