Beau Diako is back with his first single of 2022, "Nylon", which is the title-track from his forthcoming debut album, and sees him reunite with Tobi Tunis.

After teaming up with Etta Bond and Bas on last year's "Fretless", Beau Diako has unveiled "Nylon", the title-track from his upcoming debut album.

The new song features Tobi Tunis, marking their first collaboration since 2019's "Cute".

Speaking about the collaboration, Beau Diako says, "It’s always an honour and pleasure to team up with my talented friend Tobi Tunis. He has the most amazing smooth voice and always writes the most beautiful melodies that I could never get tired of hearing."

""Nylon" was one of the first tracks I made after getting a really cheap nylon string guitar to experiment with," he adds of the song. "This dark and moody but dancey idea came out and all the layers and instruments seemed to just fall into place around it. The song gives me the image of being lost and deep in thought on a lonely beach somewhere late at night."

Tobi Tunis adds, "Once again Beau decided to grace me with another of his musical gemstones. It’s weird because I had recently become addicted to reggaeton beats when he sent me this track out of the blue. I listened to it, lost my shit, skipped breakfast and went straight to the studio where I spent the week writing and recording vocals for it. Definitely got a bit hungry in there, but I kept feeding off all the coconut energy flowing out of the track."
