Born and raised in Dumaguete City, emerging artist Nino is bent on redefining contemporary pop music with a distinctive blend of rock, soul, and what he calls “space pop.” His music, characterized by spacious reverb, panning vocals, and echoing delays, crafts immersive soundscapes that delve into themes of self-confrontation and soul-searching.
His debut release “Heart, Attacks” offers a fresh perspective on love, told from the viewpoint of someone hesitant to fully surrender. With introspective lyrics and a carefree energy, Nino reflects on new beginnings, not just in love but in life. Lines like “I’ll do it all for fun, don’t even need the sun” capture the joy of embracing emotions without overthinking.
Nino is one of the artists under Diorama FM, a new music label dedicated to cultivating artists with a distinct sound and strong creative identity. To promote his debut single, Nino has a live performance video of “Heart, Attacks” on the Diorama YouTube channel released a day after Valentine’s Day.
With a debut single that is undoubtedly catchy plus the promise of more music that has the same exciting and refreshingly new sound as “Heart, Attacks,” Nino is definitely one to watch.
Verse:
How come it took me way too long?
I’m trying to break myself from a cycle that repeats
I’m cutting the corners
Don’t care bout’ the pavement
I’ve learned to trust myself, all along I’ve not been wrong
Pre-Chorus:
Been waking up and feeling great
My sadder days are gone now
I think I’m in love
Or I don’t know
Chorus:
Someone save me from my heart
Cause I think it’s gonna win this time
Oh no, but I don’t mind at all
9 times out of 10 I find
That I think of you like all the time
I know losing to my heart ain’t so bad
Verse:
Oh, oh, oh
Woah
I’m sat in a sandbox and building a castle
Woah
I’ll do it all for fun
Woah
Don’t even need the sun
Woah
I said I’ll give it one more chance
Pre-Chorus:
Someone
Please, someone
I’m feeling it might jump out my chest
I know that I’m falling in love
Chorus:
Someone save me from my heart
Cause I think it’s gonna win this time
Oh no but I don’t mind at all
9 times out of 10 I find
That I think of you like all the time
I know losing to my heart ain’t so bad
Outro:
Someone save me from my heart
Cause I think it’s gonna win this time
Someone save me from my heart
Cause I think it’s gonna win this time
