From an offshoot of Salifornian funk/soul collective Banda Maje, here comes a new 7 single penned by the rapper, producer and bands co-founder Tonico 70. Vicl / Fantasie is a tasty prelude to Tonico 70s forthcoming album Antonico, due out this November on Four Flies Records.

Like the rest of the album, the two tracks on the single have been co-written and co-produced by Peppe Maiellano, Banda Majes other founder, and offer a more intimate portrait of the artist. Tonico has put his tough-music-smuggler persona aside to let his soulful side shine through.

Vicl, on side A, is a very autobiographical song. The flow of words you hear, almost a stream of con-sciousness, took place late one night in the privacy of home and was recorded on the spot. Tonico 70 eval-uates his personal history, speaking about the people who are or were there for him. The sound is smooth and sweet, rife with contrapuntal notes and harmonies (those played on the Fender Rhodes and the flute especially stand out) and clearly reminiscent of 70s soul.

In the funky, uptempo Fantasie, on the flip side, Tonico 70 lets his Salifornian flow roam free to talk about the strong bonds that bring us together and make us feel good.

Both tracks evoke images and stories while enveloping you in a warm embrace. Not unlike Banda Majes music, they have a strong cinematic quality that Tonico 70s rap adds to nicely. We cant wait to listen to whats coming next!
