Nico Besso, a Paris-born, Southern California-raised rising artist, producer, vocalist and DJ, announces the release of his latest single, “Won’t Fade.” Known for blending introspective themes with dance floor-ready grooves, Besso takes listeners on a sonic journey that captures the complexities of holding onto a relationship slipping away.
At just 23 years old, Besso has already carved a unique niche in the music world. Born to Canadian parents in Paris, his early life was steeped in storytelling through comic books and short stories. His musical journey began with the legendary CD mixtapes from his mother, featuring artists like Phoenix, David Bowie, and Daft Punk, which filled his childhood apartment with a constant stream of diverse sounds. Besso’s self-directed approach to music production began at 18, relying on his keen ear and a deep dive into blogs and articles to master songwriting and composition.
After the success of his previous release “Space 2 Breathe,” which received support from Spotify’s editorial playlists like “Fresh Finds Dance” and “Feel Good,” Besso is back with “Won’t Fade.” This new single presents a slightly different twist on his sound, embracing a progressive dance house vibe. The track opens with an epic intro, building into a groovy tech house rhythm, where Besso describes it as “if Rüfüs Du Sol had a fast house baby”, complete with pulsating synths and beats.
Besso’s captivating vocals and pop-woven melodies take centre stage, finding unique melodic pockets that add intrigue to the evolving track. The vocal effects shift throughout, set against more of a UKG backdrop in parts, merging genres like house, techno, and UKG into a cohesive, dynamic sound.
“Won’t Fade” is a haunting exploration of the struggle to hold onto a faltering relationship. The lyrics vividly depict emotional turmoil and the realisation of loss, with chaotic and airy synthesiser arpeggios enhancing the theme of feeling lost in a foreign landscape. As the hope for reconciliation clashes with the inevitability of change, “Won’t Fade” reflects on the complexities of love, where past and present intertwine relentlessly.
For fans of 49th & Main, Mindchatter, and even Fred again.., “Won’t Fade” showcases Besso’s dynamic and versatile talent, cementing his place as one of the most innovative dance artists around.
