Fonto’s new single, “Vicodin” may be short, but it leaves a strong impact. Clocking in at just a minute and a half, this track is smooth, chill, and packed with emotion. Unlike his previous releases, this song takes a more personal, romantic, and emotional approach, making it stand out in his catalog.
The song’s honesty is what makes it so powerful. Fonto’s delivery feels raw and confident with lyrics that pull you in. His flow is captivating and the production is simple yet effective, allowing the emotion to shine through. It’s a track that’s easy to keep on repeat, not just because of its length but because of the feeling it leaves behind.
Fonto, a Bronx-born artist of Cuban-American descent, has been making a name for himself in the underground scene with his lo-fi and gritty sound. As a sound engineer, producer and recording artist, he continues to push his creativity with each release.
We really enjoyed this new single. It’s refreshing to hear this side of Fonto and the emotional depth makes it one of our favorite tracks from him. Definitely worth a listen!
