There's nothing written in the that description saying that he left Eurobeat. It just says After 30 years performing eurobeat and dance music, Nick Festari dives into a new genre; pop music.

Nothing about quitting Eurobeat. *shrug*

I guess it's only 99¢, I'll give it a go. FLAC is available on CDBaby so yeah.

The info about him leaving eurobeat is from personal conversations I've had with Nick. The new Franz Tornado and Ciao Ciao tracks are his final tracks with HRG. From this track and on his will be working as a solo indie performer.
EDIT: Song is now available on iTunes and Spotify

Remarkable. The song itself is good. I like the style of singing, he has a very special tone of voice. However, the pronunciation is really poor.

David Dima did the same a couple of weeks ago:

The Italian accent is much more audible when they sing slow.

Boy, I kind of wonder what this means for the future of Hi-NRG Attack. Almost every single male-led track over the past few years was performed by Festari. Will they hire a new writer to take his place? Is Federico Rimonti really too old to appear on new tracks frequently? Will the label shut down for good?

Franz Tornado is still 100% active with Hi NRG Attack, Kool Kitten is evidence of that. No the label is not shutting down, nor has any plans on slowing down production. Also Festari left on amicable terms so should they want to maintain continuity on aliases that he used, he in theory could return on a freelance as needed basis. So yes going forward Festari is no longer with Hi NRG Attack/

I'm just curious because Rimonti only records new songs on a very uncommon basis nowadays. Previously, he performed on far more tracks than any other male title at the label.

Nick might still be singing for hi nrg attack, but he has left the production side (which is sad because the 4 tracks he arranged so far have been amazing)

I really, really like his version of this song. I like the song in general, but his accent make the song unique! I'd like to hear a professional version of this song.

Nick has left HRG Attack. I mentioned this in the SEB 225 thread. The alises he used were also sung by Federicco Rimonti.. We will be seeing alot more of Franz's alias' and perhaps some new talent in near future.

Now is the TIME to loom ahead. His new song is brilliant. I still hear Cy-Ro singing, but that's the magic of it. BTW, he did all vocals front and backup. The production was written, composed and performed by him entirly. Think Prince in the 80's to get an idea.

All the best of luck

That's Nick himself throught the video. He also shows a scene with him as a Music School teacher; which he is in real life.

The center of attention in the video is Viviana. beautiful name right?

Also, why is this thread in Eurobeat Talk? This guy quit the eurobeat scene, and this song isn't eurobeat, so it shouldn't be here.

This is not the first TIME a post appears about the other musical genres from certain well known Eurobeat artists. In the past posts about Dave Rodgers, Clara Moroni, Elena Ferretti ect.. have been posted, so why shouldn't Nick Festari recieve the same love. It's only fair and he has been around since the 90's. Us; the Eurobeat fans ,are probobly the ones most familiar with Nick's vocals and works, so it makes perfect sense for this post to appear in a Eurobeat related forum.

I'm just saying
