Following the release of singles Focus, 21 Grammes and Qui d'Autre, Joe Rocca announces Hybride, his sophomore solo album due out on vinyl and digital format on May 24th via Bonsound. In addition, the rapper unveils Amours et Contradictions, a sensual ballad on which he teams up with R&B singer Malia Laura.
On Amours et Contradictions, Joe Rocca describes the fear of commitment generated by the confusing seduction games of modern dating. He struggles to hold back his passion for a seemingly emotionally distant love interest, while Malia’s verse suggests his feelings are very much reciprocated. Produced by Worry, JMF and Félix Petit, the song’s laid-back beat combines trap-like stuttering hi-hats, airy synths and deep basslines. Once again, Joe demonstrates his versatility with this contemporary R&B track, on which his distinctive voice and flow feels right at home.
Released in January, Focus / 21 Grammes marked Joe Rocca's return after a six-year absence. The double single caught the attention of several Quebec media outlets, such as ICI Musique, ICI Première, TVA, Noovo, Radio-Canada, La Presse and Le Journal de Montréal. This summer, Joe will be performing at La Noce (Chicoutimi, July 6th) and Festival d'été de Québec (July 11th). More tour dates to be announced soon.
