Gianfranco GFN’s latest release is a funk and jazz intensive number that’s extremely rich in sound and in attitude. ‘Supernatural (It’s the End)’ is a mature exploration of an ending love that’s masterfully executed.
Based in Bienne, Switzerland, Gianfranco GFN is a guitarist who is teaming up with David Caraccio on bass, Nicolas Pittet on drums, Claude-Alain Biedermann on keyboards, and Vladimir Crabone on voice duty, creating a capable ensemble that brought us a truly fine piece of acid jazz, with all of the genre’s juicy leanings toward funk and soul.
Titled ‘Supernatural (It’s the End), the new song is lush with its nuanced arrangement, featuring the legendary Hammond organ sound on the keyboards, some tight and delicious funk guitar, and a rhythm section that establishes a driving groove that doesn’t relent. The lyrics, exploring the end of a relationship, with all it brings of sadness and hope for new things to come, are as thoughtful as the music, which is full of tasteful, unexpected harmonic twists synonymous with the genre.
Gianfranco GFN’s latest release got me hyped for his upcoming album, which this song will be part of. With a collection of songs as rich and as well-thought out as this, we could be coming towards something really special.
