Monticolombi releases Vibey new track Bellagio, continuing to explore the feelings of lust and emotion in this RnB track that will leave you with a smile and your head bobbing.
Monticolombi’s first release of 2022 , Bellagio, sees the artist’s most evocative release to date. From the polyend smooth intro, to the track dripping with that late night energy, the music’s dismissal of any care in the world makes it an infectious addition to the artists rosta of refreshing hip-hop.
“The Inspiration for this tune was the imagery of those mid 90’s boudoir casino scenes in films such as ‘Swingers’ Featuring Vince Vaughn. That incredibly warm lighting with a bubbling atmosphere and the excitement that tonight, anything could happen ” — Monticolombi
The 25 year old artist has been involved in music projects for 10 years, in some shape or form. Most notably, he fronted soul and hip-hop collective Stretch Soul Gang, which received great success (supporting Jam Baxter, The Brand New Heavies, and Norman Jay among others).
After a rare viral disease caused the artist to have a sudden heart attack at age 22, he was forced to take some time out from music to recover. With a new sound and a new ethos towards life, Monticolombi emerged a year ago.
Inspired by the attitude of his “smooth-talking, suave-striding, incredibly generous grandfather”, the Suffolk based artist has already begun to preach his forward thinking message. Opting to focus on life’s blessings, rather than its struggles, his previous release In The Morning featuring Lucy DeBono reflects on a blurry-eyed romance of youth and in October his single Praise was made track of the week on BBC introducing Suffolk.
