Named one of DJ Mag’s artists to watch for February and recently featured on SiriusXM’s Chill channel, Nico de Andrea is a name you NEED to pay attention to. Nico de Andrea follows up the release of his debut artist album, ‘Love Therapy,’ with his newest single, a collaboration with house music DJ/Producer and former NBA star Rony Seikaly, entitled ‘Lose Your Love.’
Sampling ‘Your Love’ by English rock band The Outfield, the track overflows with crossover appeal and audial flair. Incorporating Seikaly’s unique grooving rhythms and De Andrea’s signature Afro house beats, this hypnotic single is as easy on the ear as it is suitable for dance floors, taking a prime spot on the forthcoming deluxe version of ‘Love Therapy.’
“Given how much our artistic universes have in common, it was obvious that I would collaborate on a track with Rony. I was so proud when Rony reached out to me to work on a track. I was a fan of Rony when I was young, watching him play in the NBA for the Miami Heat. I also became a fan of the producer and DJ when I discovered his unique sets at Circoloco and everywhere in the world. We share the same taste for dreamy and ethereal vocals. Today, we find ourselves halfway between our two styles, blending the softness of my project with Rony’s more club-oriented approach. Taking on a track from the 80s also contributes to mixing the DNA of our projects; it is definitely nostalgic,” Nico de Andrea says.
Rony Seikaly adds, “I really liked Nico’s style and wanted to collaborate on something that was halfway between him and me. We made it happen.”
Released in January, ‘Love Therapy’ is inspired by Nico’s personal experiences of impossible love, conflict, and separation. The twelve tracks touch on themes of nostalgia, longing, passion, and hope and feature collaborations with the likes of Eli & Fur and Tensnake, to name a few. Released on April 5th, the deluxe version of ‘Love Therapy’ will include two new singles and eight remixes.
In support of these recent activities, Nico will hit the road in North America – with upcoming shows in New York, Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles, and more.
