Dan Rico Builds Towards ‘Bull Moon’ With Latest Single ‘Beautiful Dreamer’

Piece by piece, Dan Rico is revealing what his next chapter sounds like. Following “Bigger Place” and “Masterpiece,” the New York-based artist returns with “Beautiful Dreamer,” the latest release leading towards his upcoming album Bull Moon.

Rico has never been particularly interested in staying within one sound. Growing up in Chicago before building his career in New York, he has moved through rock, punk, glam-pop, and electronic music, played in numerous bands, toured across the US and Europe, and performed at SXSW multiple times. His solo work brings those influences together, with vintage drum machines and loops becoming an increasingly important part of his music.

That evolving sound has been unfolding across his latest singles.

“Bigger Place” introduced listeners to this new era, while “Masterpiece” explored the repetitive cycle of working, waiting for the weekend, and trying to stay present as time seems to move increasingly quickly. Now, “Beautiful Dreamer” adds another piece to the picture.

Rather than viewing these releases as standalone moments, consider how, together, they’re beginning to establish the world surrounding Bull Moon. The upcoming album is shaped by the challenge of staying present in a digital world that rarely slows down, giving Rico plenty of space to explore bigger ideas while still keeping movement and energy at its center.

With three singles now offering a taste of what’s ahead, “Beautiful Dreamer” brings Bull Moon another step closer and gives listeners one more reason to see where Dan Rico takes the album next.
