Swiss artist GIANFRANCO GFN has taken to intoxicating musical exploration of unattainable romance and the searing pain it leaves in its wake with his lush new single “Me After You.” The latest from GFN is a seamless meld of strands of acid jazz, blue eyed soul and sheeny modern pop, a single sonic dive into the abyss of unrequited longing.
There is such an atmosphere of delicious melancholy and quiet defiance from the dramatic opening swell of lush instrumentation on ‘Me After You.’ Gianfranco’s emotive lead vocals rock with the feel of a rich, lived in phrase of odes to desperate yearning for a lover forever out of sight.GFN’s phenomenal backing musicians surround his impassioned delivery, and a masterfully assembled instrumental palette that he developed alongside them. Spicy smoky musing, shimmering keys and an intricately grooving pocket come together for a plush neo soul soundscape that is beset by the curse of getting inescapably, rapturously lost. The rich textures and emotional depth of the music invite listeners to lose themselves in a world where every note resonates with the heart’s deepest yearnings and unspoken dreams.
However, amid the dreamy atmospherics, an undercurrent of airy West Coast indebted jazz and acid tinged psychedelia arises, just fittingly hazy, sensual and fitting the track’s thematic fixations. This is an enchanting contrast that fully supplants the listener within the empyreal push and pull of infatuation and melancholy longing.Out of ‘Me After You,’ GIANFRANCO GFN has become a true vanguard unto himself for an unboundly genre shattering approach to raw emotional expression. He’s alchemized various stylistic pieces into something that is deeply impactful and a work of relatable, deeply heartache and consummate musical craft. A ringing endorsement of unrequited love that has never sounded so spellbindingly sublime.
