Rocco kicks off a bold new era with indie-pop EP 'A Comedy Romantic (Act.1)'

23-year-old rising Filipino-American singer-songwriter Rocco kicks off a bold new era with the release of his EP, 'A Comedy Romantic (Act.1)'. Fans can listen to the full EP HERE.

Born out of a deep-seated love for the romantic comedy surge of the 1990s and 2000s, the project sees Rocco building an immersive universe. This body of work is punctuated by an episodic short-form narrative series across his social platforms showcasing his acting talents, a rollout format that has already generated an overwhelming reaction online.

Driven by a conversational, deeply evocative perspective, the EP's focus track "Palm" captures the poignant realisation of growing apart from someone who once knew you best. Grounded in specific, intimate memories rather than traditional love tropes, the track navigates the complex nostalgia of watching someone you love take a path you cannot follow. It is a cinematic slow-dance track that beautifully encapsulates the quiet ache of moving on.

Following his previous single "Break", this new EP positions itself perfectly at the intersection of sombre slow jams and upbeat heart-stoppers. By tying these tracks to his social skits, Rocco delivers a completely cohesive visual and sonic experience.

With 'A Comedy Romantic (Act.1)', Rocco delivers more than just a collection of songs; he invites listeners into a fully realised world where heartbreak and humour beautifully coexist. By blending raw, bedroom-pop vulnerability with the grand scale of a cinematic episodic series, the EP serves as a definitive statement of his evolution as a multidisciplinary creative. It is a poignant, brilliantly structured first chapter that leaves audiences eager to see where his sonic and visual journey takes them next.
