Music News - La Coco drops infectious and smooth soul-house track 'Closer To Mine'
30 August 2024 - 0 Comments
Award-winning multifaceted artist La Coco is today sharing her latest gift Closer To Mine- a warm and nostalgic soul-house track accompanied by a candid new music video!
The Tāmaki Makaurau-based rising Pasifika star La Coco (Latoia Sasa-Tepania) has long been an exciting presence in the Aotearoa RnB, soul, and electronica space. She’s released three EPs, took home the 2020 Waiata Māori Music Best Album Award for Out Of Time, had several Pacific Music Award nominations, and collaborated with the likes of Nathan Haines, Poetik, Atjazz and more. Now, today's release marks an exciting new chapter for La Coco - an artist who has proved ready to push the bounds of genre, and explore new facets of her creativity.
Closer To Mine is an introspective stream of consciousness, reflecting on intimacy, vulnerability, and a deep desire to bridge the gap between two hearts - articulated through a gentle house groove, soulful vocal melodies and warm instrumental textures.
“This is a song crafted for those who have ever felt the ache of separation and the joy of reunion,” says La Coco. “It's an invitation to reflect on the power of human connection and the enduring strength of love.”
Made with the support of NZ On Air, Closer To Mine was written alongside the artist’s big brothers Gene Rivers and Matthew Thorburn, who were sending through beats and instrumentals until La Coco settled on the soothing groove of this new track - which was recorded, mixed and mastered by good friend Christian Mausia at No Filter Studio. La Coco stresses the importance of collaborating with loved ones for her creative process to thrive: “It’s family feels for me, it needs to be comfortable.”
Also out today is a gorgeous new music video made with regular collaborator and friend Diana Hu. Starring some of La Coco’s closest friends, supporters and collaborators, the clip brings a joyful new meaning to ‘move what’s on your mind’ - capturing La Coco and her friends doing so each in their own unique way.
“I am not one for the cinematography look, simply not me. I love the everyday people vibe, capturing these moments of all my close ones right here doing life with me.”
With more new music on its way shortly, now is the time to step into the world of La Coco and let yourself bathe in the warm soul-house of Closer To Mine!
