Song Review/ Blues : GIANFRANCO GFN’s ‘Traces of The World’
GIANFRANCO GFN is a master of flow. All his musical pieces have a cool progression to them. Creating sonic connections that refresh the soul. He is famously known for his free exploration of the blues, jazz, rock, bossa nova spectrum, creating whirlpools of sensibilities with them. His latest release, ‘Traces of The World’ makes for a memorable journey with its winking blues, playful funk, and charismatic vocals. This is just in the verses. The chorus plays out in a whole other world. In a sweeping frame with violins, contemporary pop elements, ethereal harmonies.
It’s expansive, a dreamy feeling that you are momentarily misted with. He plays with musical cultures, interpretations, and manifestations to portray so many new traces of music. It is a potpourri, a melting pot of sorts where music comes to blend, play. It’s a pure outcome of exploration and curiosity between musicians. Not just that. It feels like a celebration of the process.
