Rocco – "Girl Next Door" (Official Video)

Four months fresh off the release of his EP 'A Comedy Romantic (Act.1)', Rocco announces 'A Comedy Romantic (Act. 2)', the next and final instalment in his ongoing narrative series. Expanding on the fictional world he has been building across his music and social platforms, the forthcoming EP brings the story to its closing act, trading the lighthearted anticipation of a budding romance for the messier, more angsty realities of love. "I'd coin it the official soundtrack if my year had a movie. It's anthemic, weird in some parts, and most importantly, fun," he shares. Rooted in his deep love for the romantic comedies of the 1990s and 2000s, Rocco's 'A Comedy Romantic' universe exists far beyond the songs themselves. Blending original music, character-driven storytelling and performance, the project brings the relationships and emotional plotlines behind the songs to life, inviting fans to follow along as each new release reveals another piece of the story. With 'A Comedy Romantic (Act. 2)' on the way, Rocco takes the story into its final stretch, leaning into the tension, emotional highs and growing pains that come with a love story that refuses to follow the script. Blurring the lines between music and storytelling, he transforms the universal chaos of falling in love into a world that feels equal parts cinematic, nostalgic and unmistakably his own.
