New album!
Maja Francis
Maja Francis has rapidly become one of Sweden’s most unique voices and prominent singer-songwriters.
Described as ”an updated Kate Bush” or ”a young Dolly Parton,” Maja’s music is a modern, dramatic take on pop that honors her legendary idols. Her ability to combine vulnerability and strength has made her one of the most authentic and exciting artists on the Swedish music scene.
In 2021, Maja Francis released her debut album, “A Pink Soft Mess”, positioning herself as one of her generation’s most unique voices. Produced in collaboration with Johannes Runemark and David Wikberg, the album was praised for its brave and evocative songwriting that touches core emotions and challenges thoughts. The album received critical acclaim from both Swedish and US press, earning nominations for a Swedish Grammy and the Nordic Music Prize.

Maja’s single “Mama” saw her collaborating with close friends Klara and Johanna Söderberg of First Aid Kit. The video premiered in Holler Country Magazine and was performed live before a million viewers at the Nobel Prize ceremony on Swedish television.
The second single from her debut album, “Anxious Angel,” gained significant attention when it was featured in the final scene of the Netflix series “Love & Anarchy,” becoming the most Shazamed song in Germany at the time. Maja’s video for “PMS Party” and her ‘emo linedance’ created a buzz, establishing a new sing-along anthem for PMS when performed live on one of Sweden’s oldest stages and TV shows.
Other notable singles like “This Woman’s Work,” “Tiny Tornados,” and “Lava Love” further solidified Maja’s position as the emo queen in the intersection of pop, singer-songwriter, and Americana genres. Her unique style impressed American artist Sierra Ferrell, who invited Maja to open up for her in Sweden in 2022.
After a successful 2023, which included participating in the TV show “Så Mycket Bättre,” a sold-out summer tour, and serving as a special guest on First Aid Kit’s European tour, Maja has continued to rise.
In 2024, Maja Francis will follow up her successful year with new material. In March she released ”Hello Cowboy,” the first single from her upcoming album, that has been added to Swedish national radio P3 and P4 and the biggest digital country radio channel in Sweden ”Go Country”. Followed by singles ”Manic Pixie Dream Girl” and ”Low”, the latter also added to Swedish national radio P3.
The album ”Hello Cowboy” is set for release on September 6th.
Maja Francis stands out as a bold and authentic voice in modern music, with a career marked by heartfelt songwriting, evocative performances, and a distinctive blend of pop and country influences.
