Bella Ciao
Release 18.7.2025
With my new single "Bella Ciao", I want to reimagine the iconic resistance anthem as a gentle, multilingual and deeply moving piece. Carried by soft arpeggiated synths, layered vocals and organic indie textures, this version transcends time and borders.
Sung in Italian, English, French and German, Bella Ciao becomes a universal hymn — remembering the past, but calling for togetherness now more than ever.
In a world marked by division and fear, I want to show a quiet, yet powerful act of resistance: We belong together.
This is not a nostalgic cover. It is a timely musical manifesto — against hate, silence and separation. And for a future where empathy becomes the loudest voice.
Meine Wut kriegst du nicht
Egal, wie laut die Welt tobt, Wut bleibt eine eigene Kraft, die man bewusst lenken kann. Eine Kraft, die nicht denen gehört, die spalten wollen. Eine Kraft, die in Gemeinschaft und Solidarität transformiert werden kann. Die neue Single "Meine Wut kriegst du nicht" von Coco Aikura ist ein eindringlicher Indie-Pop-Track, der mit treibenden Synthesizern und organischen Schlagzeug Field-Recordings eine Atmosphäre zwischen Rebellion, Reflexion und Hoffnung schafft. Der ausdrucksstarke, klare und emotionale Gesang verleiht dem Text eine besondere Intensität und unterstreicht die Botschaft des Songs. Entstanden aus der aktuellen politischen Lage, setzt er ein klares Zeichen für Vielfalt und Menschenrechte – ohne sich von Hass und Hetze vereinnahmen zu lassen.
Memories Stay
release: 21.06.2024
Friendship. Love. Family. We all know the feeling when life's circumstances intervene and what was once most important to us slowly fades into yesterday, last month, last year and beyond. Sometimes memories gently lose their resonance, drowned out by the torrent of our daily lives. We must fight to keep them alive because the idea of losing that group of friends, a lover, or family member means also losing a piece of ourselves.
Memories stay is a song that refuses to forget what we have lived or whom we have loved. A song full of hope that one day we will all be together again.
This song by Damien Reynolds and Coco Aikura was written on a hike in Northern Spain, in the middle of nowhere, when two complete strangers met and became friends - A memory that won’t fade away.
Produced by Caterina Barbieri in Berlin, Memories Stay is Coco Aikura’s first single release after her album “a place called home”
The artwork was designed and painted by Sanjyot Telang on a photograph from Known as Studio.
A place called Home
The album "A place called home" that includes 11 songs has been recorded with the collaboration of the producer Missincat and was released on the 12th of May 2023.
Through her indie, pop and electro compositions, Coco Aikura delivers an uncompromising portrayal of society with, so to speak, a raw frankness wrapped in the sweetness of her voice and character.
On stage, Coco Aikura juggles between electronic arrangements, acoustic guitar, a drum pad, loops and her synthesizers. We go through the different songs and emotions with her, as she makes the audience participate, in an authentic and benevolent way.
The French music magazine Télérama summarizes it in February 2023: "A record where she lays, in English, French and German, her (beautiful) voice on a low tempo electro-pop, rich in shivering atmosphere and very current texts."
Since March 2022, the artist has released two singles and an EP. With this visibility, she performed on several German festivals (Kulturelle Landpartie, Hamburg Food Festival, ConNext Festival ...), but also on two Parisian dates: at Pan Piper and Pop Up du Label with Chateau Forte and Alice Animal.
Coco Aikura is accompanied by the French publishing house Musigamy and the German press agency Factory 92.
