Late Bloom by Steven Francell
It took a while for these songs to come to light, but here they are. These are apart of a collection of songs from 2017 to now, these are the five that felt the most pertinent to release and the most relevant to the changes that have taken place in that time. Loss, grief, shame, housing insecurity, isolation, finding love and losing everything. I hope you like it.
