“Casanova” by LICO is a vibrant and groove-filled anthem that serves as a cautionary tale to the persistent Casanovas of the night. Released on March 8, this single delivers a compelling message wrapped in electrifying music meant for the dancefloor.
Recorded in the guitarist and vocalist Fin’s bedroom in Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales, the song’s infectious energy is evident from the get-go, driven by a gushing, syrupy undercurrent. The warm bass lines set the stage for a dance floor disco extravaganza. As snapping fingers usher in dreamy melodies, sharp beats pulse with irresistible allure, creating the perfect backdrop for a night out on the town.
LICO strikes the right balance between warmth and coolness, infusing the track with richness and groove that beckons you to hit the dance floor. The bridge of “Casanova” builds to an intimidating wave of pulse, bringing a smug intensity to the track’s already irresistible allure.
Frontman Declan Bodger steals the spotlight with his swooningly sexy vocals, which glide effortlessly over each line with a sweet and sugary delivery. His ethereal voice adds an enchanting quality to the song, making it impossible to resist its catchy and hooky charm.
The lyrics urge overzealous men to take a step back and reassess their approach. Lines like “Tight jeans, white teeth, call her, lipstick on your collar, still live with your mother, She’ll scream when you,” poke fun at the archetypal Casanova with a humorous yet poignant demonstration.
LICO is coming near you with live shows this April 2024. Stay tuned for the dates to drop. Till then, jam to “Casanova” in your closest clubs.
