Allan Franzner crafts introspective single, "Haven't You Been Keeping Up With News?"
Putting together an incredibly relatable track about our current times, Allan Franzner’s “Haven’t You Been Keeping Up With News?” is well worth your time and energy. Read on for a closer look at the single, in addition to a background on the artist.
For this Brazilian artist, he’s taking his current frustrations with our world and translating them into thoughtful, meaningful, and introspective lyricism within his music. On his latest single “Haven’t You Been Keeping Up With News?”, the artist has crafted this passion-filled song in accompaniment with a music video that brings life to the words in a much needed way. As a whole though, we’re beyond excited for this song to officially hit the airwaves on April 23rd. For now, keep reading for our stellar review.
Part of a bigger album set to release soon tiled Who Pays The Price, Allan has given the world a small taste of what’s to come. With an artistic vision blooming for a cinematic experience, he’s set to cover impactful topics such as global warming, war, capitalism, and everything else that’s currently plaguing us as individuals. Slightly reminiscent of Julian Casablancas’ side project The Voidz, he’s toeing the line of experimental instrumentation on top of distorted vocals that add an extra layer of suspense and drama throughout. While writing, producing, and being at the helm of the sound, it’s shockingly beautiful that this all came from the mind of one talented musician.
Describing his messages as “statements that lie in the outskirts and corners of mainstream culture", we fully understand where he’s coming from, but when making the connections in his words, it all truly makes sense. Seriously, he’s looking inward and outward all at the same time to try to prove his point of view. On first listen it might be difficult to connect those dots, however this is a dense piece of art that deserves a close and focused attention to come back and dissect. With all that being said, we’re excited for the record to come in the near future, but implore the readers to kick off your journey with a fair listen.
