Upcoming artist Nicco Homaili puts out music that embodies the blurring of lines between fantasy and realism and every musical work done is cited to be a conversation to listeners. His belief was described as sounds that settle people in sonic places and spaces through moody timbres that may potentially form “musical architecture”: a space for comfort or self-realization. This perspective indirectly co-relates to his day job in architecture while his music is a direct translation of his social thoughts during the after-hours and while away from the working desk. The tracks produced are beautifully tenebrous and are intended to evoke self-reflection and persona-realization particularly when volume knobs are raised during a late-night drive or when clouds are grey. Garnering influences from the likes of new-school Hip-Hop/R&B artists such as Amir Obe & Eli Sostre, Nicco Homaili does not only mean strongly and sincerely when it comes to word-for-word in his lyrics but also creates nebulous sounds and textures through his beats that are collectively personal products of his somber yet phosphorescent moods during the wee. As an unsigned artist, Nicco Homaili has accomplished the extraordinary feat of having his music make deep inroads into the charts – organically. His 2018 single “Doppelgänger” debuted at #47 on the Spotify New Music Friday International chart and was a hit on respective Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, and Taiwan charts. That same year he released his critically celebrated debut album Late Night Doppelgänger, which spawned a slew of chart-blasting anthems: “Trust No One” (Singapore Viral 50, #20), “Dots in a Dot” (Spotify Beats & Rhymes) and “Trust No One” (MTV Asia’s Big Chill). In an overcrowded market and against hostile odds, Nicco Homaili’s music has blazed a niche that has earned him fans in multiple territories and markets. His story is, in the best, purest sense, a triumph of substance over flash, longevity over transience. Following the release of his newest single “666”, he presents a captivating sound that will definitely intrigue your ears. Beginning with upbeat instrumentation leading onto his smooth and intoxicating vocals he captures the song fully. Explaining the track a bit further it was written in 2018 and predicted the dissolution of his engagement with his then-fiancé in 2021. In retrospect, the fateful foresight exhibited in the song corresponded in an uncanny way to the fact that he halted making music in those three years so he could focus his efforts on doing the best for his relationship. To the vocals and production, this single will surely have you vibing. Being just perfect for a late-night drive or alone within your thoughts. Go stream “666”.
