Dillon Francis & 220 Kid unveil the music video for ‘Unconditional’

After recently releasing the inspirational track “Unconditional” back in June, illustrious talent Dillon Francis and British producer 220 Kid unveil the official music video for the single featuring British singer Bryn Christopher.

Dillon Francis & 220 KID – Unconditional ft. Bryn Christopher

Directed by Brandon Dermer, the video follows Francis and Danielle King masked as an elderly couple showing “unconditional” love toward one another in a series of humorous youthful antics. The visual radiates the single’s message perfectly, exuding a feeling of celebration and jubilee.

“Dillon and I have been collaborating for the past six years and our goal is always to make you laugh and smile. When he first played me the song it just made me feel so happy and optimistic. Then you add in the artwork for the track of Dillon’s grandparents, holding one another so deeply in love. We knew that the story for the video had to be an old couple skateboarding, partying and having the best day ever.”
Brandon Dermer

“Unconditional” is the first track expected to appear off Francis’s upcoming full-length house project. Since its debut, the artist also announced his second forthcoming album single, “Love Me Better” a buoyant dance-pop production with British producer Shift K3Yand vocalist Marc E. Bassy.

Dillon Francis releases new single, ‘Be Somebody’

Dillon Francis announced the release of a brand-new single titled, “Be Somebody” (feat. Evie Irie), which is available to stream/download via Casablanca Records here.

“Be Somebody” showcases Francis’s production ability as he delivers a soundscape punctuated by airy guitar and wild synths that build to a precipitous drop. Australian singer/songwriter Evie Irie adds vocals to his production with a chanting chorus that empowers and promises for her and her friends to “Be Somebody.”

The track adds to Dillon Francis’s long list of collaborations. He has previously worked with an array of artists including G-Eazy, Brendan Urie, lovelytheband, Cuco, and was the producer and songwriter for Panic! As the Disco’s hit track, “hey ma I made it,” which spent 11 weeks at #1 on Billboard’s Hot Rock Songs Chart.

“’Be Somebody’ is an ode to all the people that told me I was just a class clown and wasn’t gonna make it.”
Dillon Francis

“Be Somebody is Dillon’s story, and I’m so lucky to help share it. When he was telling me the inspiration behind his idea, I totally related to it. Just a small kid with big dreams in a school ground.”
Evie Irie
