Franz Black: “The Greatest Love Song” is achingly gorgeous

Franz Black belongs to a category of singer-songwriters that are slowly on the road to extinction in pop music. They make songs that can make you think, motivate you, feel content, and feel sad, and give you an inner peace like no other. And if you are a hopeless romantic, Franz and theses special brand of songwriters will have the perfect music to mellow any mood.

These artists offer pure ecstasy for those of us who wear our hearts upon our sleeves. “The Greatest Love Song”, Franz Black’s latest single, is just about the most exquisite performance form the singer-songwriter, I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. Its smooth beginning unfolds into an emotional ode to love that will take you on a trail through heaven.

“Love Keeps No Account Of Wrongs / And Rejoices In The Truth / Faith Hope And Love Abide / And The Greatest Gift Is Love”. These words alone will allow you to see that reality isn’t so bad when love is still your answer no matter what circumstances you find yourself in. And Franz Black is a man with a superb voice geared toward allowing you to feel that love through his music. After all isn’t that what we’re all looking for?

Franz has a fantastic uncontaminated musical style. His abilities in simply orchestrating his music are unique and distinctive in an era where excessive overplay is the order of the day. Instead his backing soundscape consists of lean conventional instrumentation which allows for his expressive voice to dominate and transmit its message clearly and powerfully.

Couple this with a memorable melody that will never leave you, and sublime lyrical sheet that seems better than most of today’s output, and you get all the makings of a true classic. Sure the word ‘love’ invokes cliched sentimentality, but Franz’s interpretation is never slushy, and the theme of love in this instance, I feel, has a more global and universal approach.

‘Love’ is seen as the bigger picture here, not just something that occurs between two people. But that’s my personal opinion, because the real beauty of music is that each and every one of us can interpret songs in own way. However you interpret “The Greatest Love Song” by Franz Black, one thing is clear; the song is achingly gorgeous, in both its intentions and its performance!

If you like smooth melodic music with meaning, you can’t go wrong with Franz Black who is an accomplished songwriter, singer and keyboard player. His concept of songwriting has evolved into a new product that combines the timeless sound of sweet music and electronic sounds of the modern day.
