With GIOMANÈ, his fifth studio album, Gianfranco GFN delivers a work that feels lived-in, expansive, and deeply musical. Developed over two years between Switzerland and Côte d’Ivoire, the album embodies a rare sense of organic warmth, embracing groove not as a stylistic choice but as a way of being. This is not a record chasing relevance — it’s one that arrives fully formed, confident in its own language. At the heart of GIOMANÈ is GIAZZ!, GFN’s personal fusion of groove, soul, acid-jazz, funk, pop, and blues. The sound is fluid and vibrant, driven entirely by live performances and real interaction between musicians. With 13 original tracks and the involvement of 15 players, the album breathes like a collective experience rather than a studio construction. There is no polish for its own sake, no digital gloss — just texture, rhythm, and human presence.
What stands out most is the album’s emotional clarity. Each track tells a story drawn from everyday life: love, movement, discovery, memory. The lyrics, written by GFN alongside his collaborators, avoid slogans or moral instruction. There is no political agenda, no overt message to decode — only a sincere invitation to listen, feel, and connect. That restraint gives the album its strength, allowing meaning to emerge naturally through sound and atmosphere. The groove remains central throughout the record, but GIOMANÈ never feels repetitive. Subtle shifts in rhythm, tone, and arrangement keep the journey engaging, reflecting the album’s geographic and cultural crossings. The influence of African rhythms blends seamlessly with European soul sensibility, reinforcing the album’s sense of openness and movement.
Released officially on November 28, 2024, with a live launch in Biel/Bienne, GFN’s hometown, the album feels particularly well-suited to the stage — a quality already evident in its recording. As GFN prepares to bring GIOMANÈ on tour with The Mystery Band, the album stands as both a destination and a departure point: a fully realized statement that promises even greater energy in a live setting. GIOMANÈ is a reminder of what happens when music is allowed to be human again — warm, imperfect, joyful, and deeply alive.
At Nuvadel, our mission has always been simple—help artists be heard. Over the years, we’ve built a platform dedicated to supporting emerging musicians, connecting them with real opportunities, and giving their releases the reach they deserve.
Today, we’re taking that mission even further.
To empower independent musicians, Nuvadel has launched a £50,000 fund dedicated to sponsoring artists and helping them amplify their music across reputable media platforms.
This fund is designed to remove financial barriers and give artists access to real exposure—without the normal high costs of music promotion.
Whenever an artist submits their press release or song for review through Nuvadel.com:
Nuvadel distributes the music to top music bloggers and trusted publication partners
We have a network of highly respected music bloggers ready to share, review, and promote your work.
Your song gets featured on up to 12 different music blogs
Normally, placement on these blogs would cost around $10 per blog—which means an artist would typically pay $120 for 12 placements.
But with Nuvadel sponsorship… artists pay only $50.
Nuvadel covers the rest using the Artist Support Fund.
Our team boosts the promotion further.
In addition to the discounted placements, Nuvadel adds extra promotional support to ensure your release reaches wider audiences.
Independent artists work hard, invest heavily in their craft, and often struggle to find affordable promotion. With this fund, Nuvadel is removing those barriers and giving artists more freedom to grow.
