Toco – Riviera

Schema Records presents Riviera, the new album by Toco, one of the Milan-based labels top artists with over 100 million digital streams, is finally released on 19 April 2024. Riviera pays tribute to the places where Toco grew up, and is the aesthetic synthesis of Tocos varied songwriting, able to create true musical mosaics that mix pop lightness, poetic lyricism, desire, joy and pain. Mainly inspired by the tradition of samba and bossa nova, and contaminated with jazz, funk, pop and rock, the album alternates light and shadow in a balanced chiaroscuro enriched by friend and musical partner Stefano S-Tone Inc. Tirones production. Anticipated by a series of singles that outlined its various facets and musical influences, Tocos new album Riviera is finally released on 19 April 2024; ten years have passed since Memoria, filled with various collaborations and dedicated to this record itself, carefully curated in production and arrangements down to the smallest detail; this has been made possible thanks also to the presence of a large lineup of guests, including Tocos labelmate Gianluca Petrella for the first time ever. The albums title is a tribute to two places very dear to Toco: Riviera is the neighborhood in So Paulo where he spent his childhood, while Riviera Ligure is where he lived for a long time in Italy: two opposite shores and cultures that turned out to be fundamental in the artists formation.
