London’s alt-pop icon Francesca Monte teams with Fake Famili to create an emotionally charged sonic journey that transcends boundaries.
Francesca Monte and Fake Famili’s “Push & Pull” doesn’t just defy expectations—it dismantles them. Imagine a seesaw where synth-pop precision meets gritty, garage-rock rebellion, each track a calculated move in a game of emotional chess.
Francesca is an Italian singer, topliner songwriter and composer. She started playing the piano and songwriting when she was 14. During her career, she collaborated with the legendary Buddy Miles in Dallas, she participated in the X Factor and The Voice of Italy and she is now a brand ambassador and influencer on social media.
The London-based alt-pop artist joins forces with duo DJ/producers Fake Famili to craft a track that’s as emotionally stirring as it is sonically innovative. From the opening moments, “Push & Pull” establishes itself as more than just a dance floor filler.
Monte’s signature songwriting approach infuses the track with a palpable emotional weight, while Fake Famili’s production expertise provides the perfect foundation of synthesizers, punchy basslines, and dynamic beats that propel the track forward with irresistible momentum.
Previously, Monte’s solo material, like her 2015 single “Stay” and “All Day All Night“, leaned into polished, radio-friendly pop with emotional depth. Tracks such as “Little Girl” and “Vertigo” showcased her knack for melodic hooks and introspective lyrics.
“Push & Pull” , however, injects a club-ready energy absent from her earlier catalogue. Fake Famili’s production amplifies Monte’s sound with gritty basslines and glitchy synths, creating a “fusion of innovative production” that bridges her lyrical prowess with dancefloor urgency.
The track also diverges stylistically from her 2019 EP “Alièn“, which topped electronic charts with a darker, more experimental edge. Here, Fake Famili’s influence pushes Monte into brighter, synth-pop territories reminiscent of Taylor Swift’s “Midnights”, albeit with a subversive twist.

Lyrically, Push & Pull retains her focus on self-expression but frames it as a “celebration of individuality”, contrasting the brooding introspection of earlier work like Boy or Little Girl .
“Push & Pull” represents another evolutionary step for Monte, whose career has spanned collaborations with international stars like Buddy Miles, a Sony Music Italy debut that topped national charts, and a fashion partnership with Puma.
For those encountering Francesca Monte or Fake Famili for the first time, “Push & Pull” serves as an ideal introduction to their respective artistic sensibilities.
For long-time followers, it represents a natural progression that honours their established sounds while pushing into exciting new territory.
