Absolutely. And it was Eurovision that got me started on Gjon as I hadn't known about him before then obviously.

Honouring his heritage.

True yes. Of course, Gjon has a dual heritage having Albanian parents whilst being born in Switzerland himself.
I'm sure a Swiss documentary will come out at some point about his career there perhaps and doing Eurovision if one hasn't been out already overall.

Gjon released his new single 'Pure' Friday morning which details about how life can be hard which we all must work through and overcome but when we do it's pure and wonderful which is different from what he's previously released of course.
The single's a softly sung uptempo French number quintessentially Gjon still without the usual high notes known for till the end somewhat.
In an interview for Swiss newspaper 'La Gruyere' Gjon stated, "I wanted to make a comeback full of optimism and lightness." "The more difficult trials of life, I learned to put them into perspective and realized that they can help us."
He previewed 'Pure' hours before its release on Instagram Live which I had to privilege of joining my first one ever where Gjon replied to my comment about him seemingly playing the whole of the song spoiling that before it's release which Gjon replied I could listen to in full 4 hours later if I wanted.
I downloaded and converted that from YouTube yesterday afternoon then.
As always another solid performance from Gjon showcasing his vocal range soft on the ears and wonderful to hear to listen as well overall.
An acoustic version of 'Pure' done for the French music show 'Taratata' is linked below to view also.

A lyric video I made of Gjon's Tear's newest single 'Pure' which he released yesterday with French and English translations for people to sing along to of course.

Gjon will release his debut album "The Game" a reworked title of an unreleased single "Falling Down" very soon with pre-orders opening up tomorrow morning. The 13-tracked album will feature former and new singles plus none released ones also to fit the overall theme of light and dark emotions of course. Fans had to do a word search before trying to guess the title playlist then. In conjunction, Gjon's also filming his next single "Midnight In Paris" two months after his previous song "Pure" came out which is great as well. I will pre-order my copy when the window opens up.

How do you pronounce his name? Just curious.
I'm guessing that it's the Albanian version of "John".

You are correct Tim. That's how most people pronounce his name.

I received Gjon's debut album which I pre-ordered 3 weeks ago today that included a drawn picture signed by him and his Weeping Willows bandmates obviously. It cost me around £37 which I didn't mind because I got the drawn picture included and am also supporting Gjon as an artist then.

I already know Tim as I have most of the songs in MP3 form anyway and have heard them on YouTube as well then.
As Gjon said the album is a mx of light and dark shade making people feel different emotions along the way.
I don't have a favourite song because I love them all as Gjon's a really diverse artist with a cracking voice to boot.
The track Disco is my new current phone ringtone obviously.
