House, groove, and Samoan-Māori soulstress La Coco has today shared her shining new EP INTO THE LIGHT - alongside a brand new single ‘Follow Me (The Remake)’!

Fresh off the Powerstation stage performing alongside Nathan Haines earlier this month, the Tāmaki Makaurau-based star is sharing her warm and radiant new collection of songs. Oozing deep pockets of house groove, dreamy vocals, and a fusion of old-school RnB, soul and gospel inspired by the Detroit sound - La Coco is taking Aotearoa electronic music to the next level with her new EP INTO THE LIGHT

“The house influences bring a sense of movement and rhythm, while the gospel-RnB vocals offer depth and emotion,” says La Coco. “INTO THE LIGHT is energetic and spiritual, capturing moments of connection, reflection, and celebration - making the EP feel like an intimate journey of faith, love, and unity.”

Already, La Coco (Latoia Sasa-Tepania) has made some serious waves across Aotearoa - she’s released three EPs, received the 2020 Waiata Māori music award Best RnB Album for OUT OF TIME, and she’s had several Pacific Music Award nominations. Not to mention her notorious collaborations with the aforementioned Polynesian Hip Hop legend POETIK, as well as Atjazz, and more. 

Made with the support of NZ on Air, today’s EP continues La Coco’s impressive run of collaborations - with the artist working alongside DJs, producers and arrangers Gene Rivers and Matt Thorburn to bring the project to life. The process began in Gene’s home studio, before the trio headed to No Filter Studio in Grey Lynn, with engineering and mastering from Christian Mausia

“This project represents who we are as a unit,” says Gene. “Faith, community and a passion for soulful underground music coming together!”
