Solarrio is an artist and producer based in Berlin who’s no stranger to blending diverse influences into his music. Born David Barenboim to Russian and Argentinian parents and having lived in France, Germany and the USA, Solarrio’s global upbringing has deeply shaped his musical identity.
After making a name for himself as KD Supier, collaborating with numerous German hip hop artists throughout the 2000s, Solarrio embarked on a creative transformation in 2016, rebranding himself as Solarrio to launch his own music project. This artistic evolution marked the beginning of Solarrio’s unique journey, which has since culminated in the upcoming release of his debut album in Spring 2024.
In Solarrio’s brand new track, “NLF,” he links up with the dynamic and innovative artist, Holland Izz. Hailing from Compton, California, Holland Izz is an artist and producer who’s at the forefront of redefining the modern hip hop’s sonic landscape. Together, Solarrio and Holland Izz craft a musical experience that pays tribute to the legendary sounds of the eighties while infusing it with modern energy and cutting edge flair.
“NLF” is a fusion of funk and dance pop, resulting in an irresistibly uptempo and groove-driven dance track. Solarrio’s production expertise shines through with punchy beats, shimmering synth textures and dynamic vocal leads. The track pairs the infectious groove of funk with the catchiness of pop, creating a sound that’s at once nostalgic and forward looking.
Holland Izz takes the mic with his rhythmic rapped flows, injecting a burst of energy into the track. His delivery is brimming with precision and charisma, making his verses stand out as an integral part of “NLF.” Solarrio and Holland Izz’s collaborative chemistry is stunning, resulting in an upbeat and unforgettable sonic journey.
The debut album, All The Wrong Places, set for release in Spring 2024 on Playel Records, promises to be a significant milestone in Solarrio’s musical journey. “NLF” serves as a captivating preview of the album’s direction, revealing Solarrio’s ability to fuse synth pop with R&B and funk influences.
Commenting on the single, Solarrio shares, “I’m a huge eighties RNB/Funk fan—Prince, Rick James, anything produced by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. I really wanted to bring that kind of vibe back with my debut album. This particular song is definitely an homage. Upbeat, groovy, fun, and funky. It’s one of my favorites from my album!”
