Puerto Rico-based Brazilian artist riconoflow is capturing hearts with his latest single "Local," a seamless blend of electronic pop, trap, and pop influences that explores themes of love, belonging, and emotional connection, with promotional support from Starlight PR. Known for blending English and Portuguese lyrics naturally, riconoflow’s music reflects his life as an immigrant who has spent over half his life in the United States while staying deeply connected to his Brazilian roots.
"Local" is designed to be more than a song; it is an experience and an invitation to feel at home wherever you are. With its understated house-pop groove, the track exudes relaxed, sun-soaked energy that mirrors riconoflow’s approach to life and music. “'Local' to me is a feeling of belonging. I’m a surfer, so I’m constantly dealing with the whole local situation. The more relaxed you are and let things flow, the more you can feel that sense of belonging wherever you are. That’s the vibe of the song,” he says.
The track’s rhythmic pulse and sensual melody draw inspiration from both his Brazilian heritage and his time in Puerto Rico. riconoflow’s creative process is intuitive—he does not write down lyrics beforehand but allows them to emerge naturally during recording. Switching between Portuguese and English, he uses language as a tool to convey intimacy and romance in ways that one language alone cannot. “Certain expressions exist in one language but not in the other. I let it all flow. It is just art. It should not have boundaries,” he explains.
For riconoflow, music is as much about energy and emotion as it is about lyrics. "Local" exemplifies this philosophy, delivering an experience that resonates even if the listener does not understand every word. “Music is an expression of self. I meditate daily. I think about love. I think about peace. I hope listeners feel that energy in my music, feel as good as I feel,” he shares.
"Local" is part of a broader series of releases leading up to an EP set to drop in May. The project maintains a cohesive sonic vision, characterized by relaxed, beat-driven tracks with a positive, sensual energy. The single reflects riconoflow’s current artistic identity while giving listeners a glimpse of the soundscape to come.
Born in Brazil and raised across continents, riconoflow first started making music in memory of a lost friend, translating personal emotion into sound—a practice that continues to drive his artistry today. His mission now is to spread loving vibrations globally, offering audiences both a track to enjoy and a shared emotional experience.
