Babymorocco is an emerging artist I spotlighted on the blog last year after being captivated by the London-based electronic artist/producer’s bodacious and ear-popping debut EP, “The Sound.” However, that EP was just the appetizer for the feast of electronic and wordplay mastery that is to follow. In recent months, he has been building momentum for the release of his debut album. This body of work, “Amour,” marks a new era in Rocco’s beat-making, where EDM influences gain prominence and his wordy rapping style firmly places him in the club scene. His crazy, glitchy-strewn beats and fast-paced vocals perfectly capture his hedonistic party-boy persona.
The arrival of singles “Crazy Cheap“, “Really Hot,” “Babestation” and “Bikinies and Trackies,” further demonstrate his somewhat provocative, experimental explorations in the EDM genre. Moreover, Rocco adheres to a concept in his “Amour” album.
Of his debut album, the innovative electronic-pop artist says: “’Amour’ is a fast-paced, 16-track journey into living and becoming Babymorocco. It’s a story of transformation as I leave London and reunite in Paris with Jean Paul; the love of my life and a part of myself that I had lost. This course proves the adage: you can take the party boy out of London, but you can’t take the London out of the party boy.”
The latest focus single “Body Organic Disco Electronic” is the song that stood out best to me thus far. Notably, because of the throbbing bassline, and techno ambience, the track sees Babymorocco immersed in a club environment. His focus is upon the punchy beats and hyper club sounds of the music. The song is simply about connecting with the music and dancing to the irresistible, ear-popping rhythm.
It’s easy to draw comparisons between Babymorocco and Charli XCX, given their shared ability to push pop music boundaries. However, while Charli XCX is known for her catchy hooks and innovative beats. Moreover, Babymorocco takes his production skills to an entirely new level, blending genres and experimenting with sound in ways that captivate the listener. At the same time, he radiates his own unique identity, ensuring that his artistry is not just a reflection of influences but a fresh and original expression of his creativity.
