Franno isn’t your typical new artist. A practicing ICU doctor by day and a rising singer-songwriter by night, he’s quickly becoming one of the most talked-about names in the Latin music world. His debut album, Historia de Amor, is generating major buzz ahead of awards season, and for good reason.
Released in May, the collection is a sweeping, emotional project that blends classic Latin romanticism with modern production. The Italian-Chilean artist draws on his multicultural roots and classical vocal training to deliver a sound that feels timeless yet current. Historia de Amor isn’t just a nostalgic nod to the past; it’s a reinvention of the Latin love song for a new generation.
The project is produced by Grammy-winning engineer Rafa Sardina and features high-profile collaborators like bassist Carmine Rojas (David Bowie), drummer Victor Indrizzo (Alanis Morissette), and pianist Jeff Babko. But the album’s heart is Franno himself; his commanding tenor voice carries the record. Across eleven tracks, Historia de Amor explores themes of love, heartbreak, healing, and self-discovery. Songs like “La Espera” and “Yo Te Amaré” are steeped in tenderness and longing, while others like “Todo Va A Estar Bien” offer comfort and optimism.
Following the recent screening of his feature-length film in Hollywood (titled Historia de Amor The Movie), Franno has seen a noticeable surge in grassroots fan support and social media traction. The album’s momentum is now catching the attention of industry insiders, with early buzz positioning him as a potential contender for Best New Artist, an impressive achievement for someone balancing two demanding careers.
