Chicano indie-pop star Cuco joined forces with electronic producerDillon Francis to release their new track, Fix Me. The two debuted the track on Wednesday, via Zane Lowes World Record show on Beats 1.
In true sad- boy fashion, Cuco begs his crush for a shot at love in both English and Spanish and though he may be fragile, he warns, hes willing to front all the cutesy texts and FaceTime calls he can to win her heart.The lyric video sees Cuco and Francis, molded like G.I. Joe dolls, cruise a desertscape atop toy Hummers decked with flowers. After being blown to smithereens, the plastic soldiers are delicately touched up with superglue. Fix Me is a different piece from what Im used to making but Im really excited about it, said Cuco in a press release. I feel like it embodies a lot of how I feel a lot and how my love life goes.
A staunchly D.I.Y. artist-producer, Cucos not usually one to share the mixing board; yet Francis retains Cucos signature dream-trap styling, while lending it a cool, ambient wash and a fleeting sample from a Souls of Mischiefs 1993 song, Cabfare.Francis discussed the making of the song on Wednesdays broadcast. [Cuco] and I are both easygoing people and were down for whatever, he told Lowe. I have this playlist I make called Surfs Up, and Cuco was like, Whoa this is all music I listen to! Coming off of the Spanish album, this was a good song to go off of.
Set for the week of Valentines Day, Cucos coastal California tour will kick off February 12th at the Observatory in Santa Ana, CA. Dillon Francis is currently touring the U.S. and Canada alongside fellow EDM superstar Alison Wonderland.
