Nick Monaco returns to Asia to promote 'Half-Naked'

Nick Monaco has barely aged since stumbling upon Dirtybird in his native San Francisco and then falling fast into the lap of Soul Clap, quickly growing into a favorite of the whole Crew Love fam and becoming a bastion for young artists and how they should behave in today's modern and messed up music industry. In his relatively short career he's already released an EP called 'Naked is my Nature' in 2013, followed by 'Mating Call' in 2014 and now he is preparing to release another full-length album on June 10^th called ‘Half Naked’ on Crew Love (Soul Clap & Wolf + Lamb’s newish collab label). There's a whole bunch of other stuff in between too.

‘Physical Therapy’ is the first single from the album and the track features Monaco’s signature sultry vocals layered upon provocative grooves that put you right back to grade 10 in the backseat of your crush's car. With the help of a Soul Clap remix that adds some serious dance floor swing time, the two tracks were just released together on the 29th of April and they can be purchased here. The full album can be pre-ordered here.

Nick kicked off his Asia tour this past weekend in Indonesia but he’s around for the entire month of May. If you're lucky enough to catch him at one of the cities below, dance with him, vogue a little and ask about his lipstick.
