Galaxy Francis keeps up the pressure w/ release “i Like SPACE VOL 2: ROGUE PLANETS”
If anyone has been shaping the future of the RnB & soul in the city right now it’s Galaxy Francis, his experience as a song writer & performer has been speaking for itself but he’s promised that he’s gearing up to outdo even those feats with more shows & music. This new release is proof that we are truly just getting into the full era of Galaxy Francis & it couldn’t have arrived any sooner. Francis moves like an artist who isn’t interested in being easily understood, and that’s exactly what gives “i LiKE SPACE VOL. 2: ROGUE PLANETS” it’s pull. He treats this album less like a collection of songs and more like a drifting system of ideas, each track existing on its own path but still tied together by a shared atmosphere..
From the jump, he establishes a tone that feels detached from anything predictable. The production leans into distortion, space, and texture. Nothing is too clean. Nothing is overly polished. Instead, he let’s the rough edges breathe, sounds stretch, collapse, and reassemble in ways that feel intentional but never rigid. It creates this sense that the music is constantly moving, never settling in one place for too long. Vocally Francis approaches everything with restraint. He doesn’t force energy where it isn’t needed. His voice often feels like it’s blending into the beat rather than sitting on top of it, almost like he’s another instrument in the mix. That choice makes the album feel immersive, you’re not just hearing him, you’re inside the environment he’s creating. There’s also a strong sense of duality throughout the project. Some moments feel urgent and chaotic, like signals breaking through static, while others slow down and give you space to think. That push and pull keeps the album from feeling one dimensional. It mirrors the idea of “rogue planets”, unpredictable, unanchored, but still carrying their own gravity..
What really stands out is how comfortable he is with ambiguity. He doesn’t rush to explain himself. He doesn’t package everything neatly. Instead, he lets ideas linger unfinished, which makes the listening experience feel more personal. You’re forced to interpret, to sit with the sound, to find your own meaning inside it. In the end, i LiKE SPACE VOL. 2: ROGUE PLANETS feels like Galaxy Francis trusting his instincts fully. He’s not trying to fit into a structure, he’s building his own, even if it feels unfamiliar at first. It’s the kind of album that doesn’t demand attention loudly, but once you lock into it, it’s hard to step out of its orbit..
