Michael Francis took a one year break, which is the average work stoppage between new projects. The new music video for “Nona’s Reservoir” could be categorized as a short film rather than a music video. The visuals fold into a romance that was eclipsed before it could be fulfilled. The imagery is spot-on with Michael Francis’ audio narrative.
The wait has officially started for Michael Francis’ forthcoming project, luckily he is offering a free download.
Director: Marcus Catillo
Producer: Cito On The Beat
Album: Cold Heart Chronicles

Singer-songwriter Toy Taha officially releases the heart-wrenching third single “Move On Without You” from her upcoming debut project, I Am Woman… The R&B track speaks of a woman finally deciding to leave a relationship because of lies and broken promises. Basically, the woman realizes her man turned out to be someone other than what he portrayed himself to be in the beginning of the relationship and she realizes that she must let go. This song is special because it has a Sade sample & contains an interpolation from one of my most favorite Mariah songs “Crybaby” and I love, love, love both of them so much! Press play…

Move On Without You
Released 12 June 2013
Written & Arranged by Toy Taha; Lead & Background Vocals by Toy Taha; Produced by Price for Price Productions; Produced by Toy Taha for Face Music Entertainment; Recorded & Mixed by Nightmeer for Out of Orda Studio Productions.
