Singer-songwriter i-COAST has officially announced the upcoming release of their new single, titled “Fossil”, scheduled for April 17, 2026, at midnight.
An Identity Rooted in the Sea
The artist’s name, i-COAST, reflects a desire to provide the healing and moisture associated with the ocean, while also symbolizing the hope of delivering music across the sea from the coast. This latest release continues this artistic vision, blending organic sounds with a polished aesthetic. With this release, i-COAST offers a sophisticated fusion of traditional Bossa Nova and contemporary R&B. The track features the dry resonance of a gut guitar paired with silky smooth vocals, creating a sound that is both organic and refined.
Beyond its musical structure, “Fossil” explores a specific psychological concept: the tension between the sense of security found in stability and the anxiety or frustration that arises from stagnation. Through this single, the artist highlights the tension between the comfort of habit and the urgent need for change.
The single will be available on all platforms starting Friday, April 17th.
