'Historia de Amor' is now available on all major digital platforms
Rising star Franno has officially released his highly anticipated debut album, ‘Historia de Amor,’ marking a significant milestone in his remarkable musical journey. The artist celebrated the album’s launch with an intimate screening in Hollywood the night before, where attendees were treated to a glimpse of the songs that have been woven into a feature film, complemented by a short documentary chronicling his extraordinary story.
Produced by Grammy-winning producer Rafa Sardina, ‘Historia de Amor’ seamlessly fuses the golden age of Latin romantic music with contemporary influences. Known for his work with icons, Sardina brings a lush quality to the project, featuring exquisite arrangements and instrumentation from a talented ensemble, including Gabi Martínez, Carmine Rojas (known for his time with David Bowie), Victor Indrizzo (who has played for Alanis Morissette), and Jeff Babko.
Franno’s vocal delivery is reminiscent of legendary figures such as Sandro and Nino Bravo, infusing each track with a timeless passion that resonates with today’s listeners. The first ten tracks of the album unfold like chapters in a romantic novel, crafting an intimate and universal narrative that captures the rollercoaster of emotions associated with love.
“This is more than an album,” Franno expressed. “It is an expression of myself and an intimate journey through my life. I’m extremely grateful to my collaborators, who have pushed me to discover this self-expression and have helped me create something that I know will resonate with those seeking something truly authentic.”
Accompanying the album is ‘Historia de Amor: The Movie,’ directed by acclaimed filmmaker Andres Ibañez. This cinematic venture offers a groundbreaking experience that parallels the emotional journey of Franno’s debut album. The film aims to transform each song into…
