Description
Anticipated by a series of singles that outlined its various facets and musical influences, Toco's new album "Riviera" is finally released on 19 April 2024; ten years have passed since "Memoria", filled with various collaborations and dedicated to this record itself, carefully curated in production and arrangements down to the smallest detail; this has been made possible thanks also to the presence of a large lineup of guests, including Toco's labelmate Gianluca Petrella for the first time ever.
The album's title is a tribute to two places very dear to Toco: Riviera is the neighborhood in São Paulo where he spent his childhood, while Riviera Ligure is where he lived for a long time in Italy: two opposite shores and cultures that turned out to be fundamental in the artist's formation.
"Riviera" is the aesthetic synthesis of Toco's varied songwriting, able to create true musical mosaics that mix pop lightness, poetic lyricism, desire, joy and pain. Mainly inspired by the tradition of samba and bossa nova, and contaminated with jazz, funk, pop and rock, the album alternates light and shadow in a balanced chiaroscuro enriched by friend and musical partner Stefano "S-Tone Inc." Tirone's production. This collaboration further consolidates the duo's fellowship that brushes magical sonorities on the different themes delivered. An excellent comeback!
