The gently empowering piano-led afrotech track is the follow-up to October’s stunning ‘Sun Sun Sun’
Brilliant Belgian producer Nico Morano unwraps his heartfelt new single, ‘Brand New Day’, a collaboration with singer-songwriter Coco, releasing Friday 24th January via his record label Ontourage Music.
‘Brand New Day’ offers stirring afrotech vibes evoking feelings of hope through Coco’s angelic vocals and delicate piano flourishes. Her soulful voice floats effortlessly as Nico crafts emotion with every note. The track beautifully follows October’s ‘Sun Sun Sun’, another vibrant celebration of light, warmth, and positivity.
‘Brand New Day’ follows a pivotal year for Morano. Tracks like ‘JUNO LOVE’ & Gorje Hewek’s remix of his track ‘EVERYTHING I OWN’ received regular support from leading trio Keinemusik (Rampa, Adam Port, &Me). In July, Nico performed some of his unreleased tracks in front of 15,000 ravers at Tomorrowland (Watch HERE).
Nico Morano has been a fixture in the melodic house scene for over two decades, known for his signature sound that fuses harmonic melodies with organic, progressive tones, enriched by touches of Italo and deep house influences. He’s a regular at festivals like Tomorrowland and Paradise City, where he hosts his ‘Nico Morano & Friends’ stage. In 2018 & 2019, he achieved his first big international successes with ‘Desire’ & ‘Solaris’ on Eelke Kleijn’s label, amassing millions of streams. His 2023 debut album, ‘Opposite Minds’, received critical acclaim and was performed in a hybrid live show featuring live instrumentation and vocalist and regular collaborator Mewhy.
In 2020, Nico Morano created Ontourage out of a profound need for authenticity—a space where he could showcase 100% of his musical style, without compromise. The label is more than a personal outlet; it’s a community, a movement. “I wanted to create a home for my music,” says Morano, “but also a platform to nurture and elevate artists who resonate with the same passion and quality I aim for.” Like for example the latest release of Fabio Aurea ‘Hiva’, which was tested widely in 2024 in clubs & at festivals! But now it is time to kick off 2025 again with a Morano production.
‘Brand New Day’ by Nico Morano and Coco marks a positive step into a new year and a new chapter for the much-loved Belgian producer. With remixes by Dorian Craft and Kalyma to follow, the story of this single is just beginning, as it seeks to make an impact on global afrohouse and afrotech scene.
