There’s a refreshing maturity to ZOCO‘s latest single, ‘Diamond In The Rough‘. Released October 17 ahead of their upcoming debut EP, LUMANISTA (Part 1), the track dives into themes of genuine love, stillness, and the power of being real.

Led by Marco Zocco, the song flows like a night drive through Milan: romantic, reflective, and glowing with warmth. Instead of chasing obvious hooks, ZOCO lets the arrangement breathe—a lullaby-like progression with crisp layers of piano, synths, and guitars. Marco’s baritone takes center stage, softly offset by the vocal harmonies of Gunnar and Matthew Nelson.

The track was co-written with Marco’s brothers Paolo and Matteo, and produced by a heavyweight team including Gunnar Nelson, Kerry Brown, and Carmine Rojas. The result is a song that feels both cinematic and personal—a love letter to the beauty of understated connection.

‘Diamond In The Rough‘ follows the buzz around ZOCO‘s debut single “Restless” and confirms this project as one to watch on the pop-rock horizon.
