Viral singer songwriter, Francis Karel has released his dreamy new single, “Two Spaces In Between“, which touches on the tender feelings of loving someone but being too afraid to tell them. The vulnerable, honest track is carried by Karel’s impassioned lyrics and lush vocals. It is taken from his upcoming EP, Handle With Care, out August 26th, 2022.
Of the song, Karel shares, “The intention was to have a hint of anxiety while also being in this trance of over-saturating the moment I’m hung up on. This song describes a part of who I am, and I don’t think I’ve fully done that anywhere else aside from my upcoming EP.“
Born and raised in Jakarta, Karel was a dedicated student of American pop radio hits, leading him to pen his first song at the young age of 12. When he decided to pursue his dream of becoming an artist, he took a leap of faith and left everything he knew in Jakarta behind with nothing but his suitcase and a one-way ticket to Los Angeles. The unassuming artist first rose to fame online, where his jaw-dropping voice quickly went viral and earned love from high-profile fans like Meghan Trainor, Zedd and Bebe Rexha. Before he knew it, Karel was becoming a pop star in his own right, racking up more than 2.3M followers on TikTok, amassing over 23M streams on Spotify, and landing tour dates with multi-platinum powerhouses like MAX and Andy Grammer.
