Antoni Franco x Gorran – Sad

Two of the UK’s brightest alt talents have teamed up to create one of the autumn’s biggest bangers, and we’re excited to be sharing it with you today.

‘Sad’ is a collaborative effort between Antoni Franco and Gorran, who initially crossed paths as classmates at the world-famous BRIT school. They’ve been working together since 2019 while also developing their own solo careers, respectively.

‘Sad’ is bold, captivating, and beautifully raw. And we’re not the only ones who love it, as the song has already surpassed 10k streams on Spotify.

“The track is about what happens when you can’t speak up about your mental health, and the long term negative effects of suppressing your thoughts and feelings. The idea that you may put your faith in certain people to help you feel less sad, but the sadness comes from such a deep place that they can’t necessarily fix the problem.”

There’s no doubt in our minds that both of these artists will hit the UK mainstream over the next year, so be sure to keep them on your radars!

New Music: Gorran

Emerging UK talent Gorran creates powerful songs that focus on the raw emotions that humans feel and express.

New single ‘Are You Mine?’ is a perfect example of this promising artist’s work. Inspired by the desperation of trying to fix a broken relationship, the track feels gripping, intense and extremely moving.

“‘Are You Mine?’ is a song about fighting for a one-sided relationship. The lyrics came together really quickly to tell this story of one person desperate for the other to stay, but finding only isolation and misery at the hands of the person they love. It’s one of the most vocally challenging songs I’ve ever written but I’m glad I wrote it in the key that I did. It’s really hard-hitting.”

To date, Gorran has received acclaim from the likes of The Line of Best Fit and Earmilk, while his catalogue of songs has reached almost 1.5 million cumulative streams on Spotify.
