Following a string of releases on Amsterdam, New York, and London-based label Armada Music, French musician, DJ, and producer Nico de Andrea is excited to release his debut album, Love Therapy – out now on Armada.
Inspired by personal experiences of impossible love, conflict, and separation, Love Therapy presents themes of nostalgia, longing, passion, and hope that permeate the twelve tracks. The album explores the different phases of a relationship and the coping mechanisms to get through hard times.
To some, a debut album might signal the early stages of a career for an artist. But for Nico de Andrea, Love Therapy is the culmination of a career spanning almost two decades. The multifaceted talent has been building a career in music since the tender age of 14. Nico’s love for House music stems from being a young boy fascinated by artists such as Larry Levan, Masters at Work, and David Morales.
With this album, melancholy has a deeper meaning. Amidst a dark period, which saw the loss of his older brother, Nico was separated from his son after he and his partner parted ways. Nico sought the studio as his safe space and coping mechanism, pouring emotion into every track he created, exploring each phase of his experience. The result was a collection of tracks collectively labeled ‘Love Therapy‘ that represent the journey he went on, told by music.
In celebration of the album release, Nico is also hitting the road in North America – with upcoming shows in New York, Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles and more.
Love Therapy is available on Armada Music, check it out below.
