Cold

casablanca

Studio DC

WE SAY

casablanca is an Italian-born and naturalised British singer-songwriter based in London. He’s already caught the attention and praise of tastemakers Notion, Wonderland and Queerty for his ’90s-influenced rock music. Produced by Chris Potter (The Verve, Blur, Keane), ‘Cold’ is his latest single and sees him singing about hook-up culture, NSA, and cruising. Backed by effervescent guitar riffs and echoes of ’90s alternative production, casablanca’s thoughtful vocals offer a personal look at what it means to be queer and vulnerable in an uncertain world. Watch the video here. Deserving of additions to alternative playlists at DSPs and spins on 6 Music, ‘Cold’ is an excellent introduction to the world of casablanca.
