Genre-blurring project connects deeply with fans across Southeast Asia and beyond
July 2, 2025 – Filipino-American singer-songwriter Rocco releases his highly anticipated debut album, Skin & Bone—a 13-track exploration of emotional vulnerability, self-discovery, and longing for connection. Recorded in Nashville, the album blends the confessional intimacy of bedroom pop with the raw storytelling traditions of Americana, offering a soundscape that is as honest as it is unforgettable.
Already making waves across Southeast Asia and reaching listeners worldwide, Skin & Bone is quickly proving itself as a defining debut—deeply personal, sonically rich, and resonant with a generation hungry for authenticity.
From mood-soaked ballads to stripped-down acoustic moments, each track on Skin & Bone reflects Rocco’s emotional growth and artistic maturity. The standout single, “Just for Tonight,” captures the heart of the album with its delicate balance of raw vulnerability and poetic clarity—offering listeners a snapshot of Rocco’s ability to channel complex emotion into song.
The album’s early momentum is undeniable. With nearly 13,000 pre-saves and adds—most within just three weeks—Skin & Bone has already begun to build its legacy among devoted fans and first-time listeners alike.
Since his emergence, Rocco has steadily gained traction on major platforms. On Spotify, his music has earned over 190 million streams. On Apple Music, he has surpassed 8.2 million streams, and his YouTube channel has accumulated 30.5 million views. He has been prominently featured on Spotify’s New Music Friday (Global and France), All New Indie, and Jasmine playlists, and even scored a Spotify homepage takeover on June 24. On Apple Music, he’s appeared in New in Alternative and the Lyn Lapid: Dream Beyond editorial.
Regional media and radio across Southeast Asia have played a key role in amplifying Rocco’s reach, with support from over 20 outlets and ongoing airplay across the region. With Filipino heritage and a sound that resonates deeply with Southeast Asian audiences, Rocco has built a loyal fanbase through emotionally driven storytelling and carefully crafted campaigns.
Drawing from streaming analytics and fan feedback, Rocco’s themes of emotional transparency and his cross-genre blend have struck a chord with Southeast Asian listeners, where heartfelt songwriting and genre fluidity continue to gain momentum.
Following the album release, Rocco will share two new live performance videos and localized lyric videos for fans in Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam.
