British producer, songwriter, and guitarist Beau Diako follows 2019 debut EP with his first offering of 2020 entitled "Animal".
Stemming from a jam session in LA, "Animal" features the RnB vocal stylings of South Cali native COCO, following in the spirit of collaboration that his "Flutter" EP introduced, with features from Jordan Rakei, emawk, Totu (TORA) and more.

Speaking about the track, Beau elaborates:
"Animal" was made earlier this year with some friends in LA and a new love for the nylon string guitar. The structure was mostly finished in one day and Coco later arrived to start adding some beautiful melodies on top, all within minutes of meeting him. I took it back to England to finish and now it’s probably the first song I’ve released within only a few months of its creation"

COCO
"Beau and Galimatias were jamming and hit me up to come over. I rolled over in the afternoon and immediately started singing on a track they had started. Once we finished that, we decided to shoot for another since we were in a good groove. Beau started playing some chords that got me excited in the studio. I laid down some vocal ideas. We all were liking the same melodies so I took those home. While driving during quarantine on empty LA freeways, I kept playing the track and started singing the lyrics as I drove. The animal lyric was pretty much there from the get-go and the vibe of the track kind of led the lyrics since the track has such a smoothness to it"

About

His guitar licks are as distinctive as any voice, as his fingers sing with soaring glissandi and creative, emotive note-picking. That is what sets British producer/writer and guitarist Beau Diako apart from the pack.

You may recognise his specific sound on tracks by Tennyson, Lido, Galimatias and more, or as 1/2 of Zoology. With his solo project, Diako blends his colourful and unique guitar style with a sound palette of indie, jazz, and neo-soul to create something truly refreshing.

The self-taught musician takes influences from a diverse range of artists such as Radiohead, Sufjan Stevens, James Blake, Joanna Newsom, while exploring a range of genres- from indie, jazz, folk, electronic and soul music - all which is evident in his genre-defying sound.
