When it comes to music we post on HD, we're not looking to fill a void for clicks or post music just to maintain the status quo of regurgitating false hype; we're all about good music no matter what genre it's a part of. Today, that ethos brings us to Australia-via-New Zealand newcomer Tom Francis and his new track, "Rise", which, upon first listen, isn't the most attention-demanding piece we've ever heard. Musically, however, there's no denying the feelings the track transcribes, because alongside the simple acoustic guitar strums and Tom's honey-dipped vocal tone, you feel like you're swaying in a hammock by the beach in the dead of summer—and these days, who wouldn't want that? If you wish to hear more from Tom, head on over to his Facebook page. Below you can find him singing "Rise" live.
