SHARES DIGITAL LOVE LETTER TO THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES POWERED BY MICROSOFT AI
What the press is saying about Cuco:
“A Cuco we’ve never seen before, all parts heartbroken, hopeful, and evolving” – NPR
“A defining figure in the alternative pop space, in which he stands out with his bilingual approach to songwriting” – Billboard
“The most present Cuco has ever sounded” – Rolling Stone
“Cuco is on top and shows no signs of slowing down” – Galore Magazine cover
Today, Cuco teams up with director Paul Trillo and visual artist Paul Fores to release an animated short film that serves as a visual love letter to his hometown of Los Angeles. Made in collaboration with Microsoft’s creative suite, the team used Microsoft’s AI tools to bring Flores’ hand-drawn visuals that were originally conceived as part of the production for Cuco’s 2024 4U Tour to life and complement their artistic vision in a way that honors their cultural heritage while simultaneously embracing technological possibilities.
Speaking on the process of creating this homage Cuco shared, “This project is about creating something that feels both nostalgic and entirely new. Like when you’re driving through the city on a hot day, and the heat starts warping everything you see.” Trillo adds, “We wanted to create something that references different eras but feels completely fresh—a new way of seeing LA through a dreamlike lens.”
Check out the short film belowand stay tuned for more from Cuco coming very soon.
