Drawing us in with a glitched bell tone, expanding with a dimensional synth, intricate melodic nuances and a dynamic, rolling bassline, Gianfranco GFN opens Soft with an expansive nature and a neuroplasticity enhancing sonic design.
The opus evolves with intentional lyrics as the talented creator shares prose with reference to his muse, who is the “most beautiful girl [he] has ever seen”. We appreciate the insight into the star’s reality, and the romantic nature of the piece, which feels simultaneously relatable and authentic.
The instrumental solos are simply sublime, and we deeply connect with the intricacy of the tapestry of sound that Gianfranco GFN manifests. “Don’t ever go, I need you so, in sunshine and in darkness…” is a captivating hook that remains in our minds long after the song is over.
The lyrics of Soft reflect a deep sense of love and dependency on the part of Gianfranco GFN, who is mesmerized by the beauty of the person he adores. The imagery of “golden gleams” in his lover’s hair and a “sleeping face” that is “like a dream” underscores the profound admiration and tenderness the artist feels.
This adoration is tinged with a palpable sense of fear and vulnerability, as Gianfranco GFN worries about the potential heartbreak of their lover leaving. The repetition of his plea highlights the artist’s need for reassurance and the fear of losing the one he loves.
Moreover, the prose conveys a strong yearning for mutual love and the hope for a shared future. Gianfranco GFN‘s desire to wake their sleeping lover to confess their feelings, juxtaposed with the necessity of leaving for work, illustrates the tension between personal desires and responsibilities. The recurring lines about needing his lover in “sunshine and in darkness” emphasize the depth and constancy oft their love, suggesting that it transcends all circumstances.
