Fans are anxiously anticipating Realname McCoy’s upcoming project, a collection of songs full of stories and experiences he fondly refers to as being “loosely based on women”.

The buzz track "Somewhere in the Tropics" is an uptempo club track produced by Sur Jazz.

"I was stuck living domestically in America since escaping the 1991 Mount Pinatubo volcano eruption in The Philippines. I started feeling the need to escape life in my everyday bubble, so I recently got myself a passport and have been taking full advantage ever since. The picture in the cover art for this song was taken while I was in Aruba earlier this year."

Give it a listen.
