Italian-born, Miami-raised urban pop star Dici shares his newest single ‘Champagne Showers’ today — the first release of the year after a pentalogy of singles in 2022 is scheduled for February 17th via his own record label DICI Records. Making it the latest addition to an arsenal of melodic hip-hop anthems that have accumulated over 2 Million Spotify streams in 100 countries and more than 4 Million views on his professionally directed and produced videos on YouTube.

‘Champagne Showers’ is an infectious pop-rap caviar — elegant drum rhythms and vibrant, glossy synths roll through the entire single creating a graceful foundation for Dici to let his unbound melodic flow build upon this musical delicacy. Hip-hop flourishes and lo-fi elements create the essence of this latest single. We see Dici continue showing off his refined rap verses but also focus on bolder, more melodic pop production. Dici is an artist that works diligently on developing his creative aesthetic, ever-maturing an insightful narrative flow, composition and production skills.

Dici has evolved from a quarantined 17-year-old, free-styling rhymes and mastering the Pro Tools rig in his bedroom to an emerging rap star with thousands of worldwide followers, a popular critically acclaimed indie EP on his own label. Dici’s influences can be heard so clearly as he matches his quality with the likes of Denzel Curry, Action Bronson, Mayhem Lauren, and Kenny Beats.

On previous releases, such as ‘305-INTERLUDE’, ‘Bar for Bar’, and ‘Vector’, Dici has worked with Associated Press and Emmy-winning director and cinematographer Brian Bayerl of Greendoor East Productions. Proficient at blending powerhouse beats and a soulful, melodic, sometimes hypnotic synth-generated flow, Dici is a name to watch out for before he blows up.

On ‘Rewind’, Gogo Finds Clarity in the Blur

Rewind is the kind of project that sounds like it was made in a room where no one was watching — and that’s exactly why it hits. Gogo, a Stockholm-born artist, builds his four-track EP from splinters of R&B, alt-pop, soul, and rock, stitching them together with emotional candor and a cinematic eye.

This is music that resists neat packaging. Where a lesser artist might lean into high-gloss production to patch over vulnerability, Gogo amplifies it. On “Cut Me Down,” he lets the cracks show — both in his voice and the production. It’s raw in a way that feels lived-in, not engineered.

There’s a duality to Rewind: it’s personal but expansive, fragile yet fully realized. The lyrics read like journal entries written after long nights of overthinking — “In Too Deep” especially feels like it was recorded under the weight of unspoken thoughts. The arrangements are sparse but immersive, often leaving space for silence to do the talking.

Gogo’s artistic philosophy — one of zero compromise — is baked into the DNA of this EP. He’s been open about rejecting the trend of artists becoming content creators first and musicians second. That resistance shows. Rewind doesn’t chase a hook; it builds slowly, deliberately. Sometimes too slowly. The EP’s pacing can feel like it drifts, particularly for listeners expecting clear-cut structure or resolution.

But that’s the point. Rewind isn’t a neatly tied emotional arc — it’s a snapshot of someone still running, still figuring it out. It doesn’t offer closure, only confrontation. And in that confrontation, there’s beauty.

With plans to expand Rewind into a full-length film, Gogo is positioning himself not just as a musician, but as a world-builder — someone more concerned with meaning than metrics. In a time when music often feels disposable, Rewind lingers.
