Francis of Delirium Announces Sophomore Album ‘Run, Run Pure Beauty’

Luxembourgish indie rock musician Francis of Delirium, the project led by Jana Bahrich, is set to release her second album, Run, Run Pure Beauty, on May 29 via Dalliance Recordings [1]. The album follows her 2024 debut, Lighthouse.

New Single “It’s A Beautiful Life”

The announcement of Run, Run Pure Beauty comes with the release of the single “It’s A Beautiful Life,” accompanied by a music video directed by Kiyan Agadjani [1]. Bahrich described the song as being inspired by everyday observations – a conversation with a pianist, a couple breaking up, a choir rehearsal – and a search for beauty amidst loneliness [1], [3].
