Info
On Café Paradiso, Mykki Blanco trades the persona-driven theatrics of earlier releases for something introspective and precise. The record draws on his life on the move: bars in New York’s East Village, pool and beer in Belleville, Paris, and long hours at Café Hafa in Tangier. The result is a soundtrack for the contemporary queer flâneur, moving through spaces where being alone doesn’t mean being lonely. Asked which earlier versions of himself appear here, Blanco says: “None.”
Following Stay Close to Music (2022) and the EP Postcards from Italia (2023), Blanco spent two years at an art school in Switzerland, earned his MFA in 2024 and returned to his “first love,” songwriting.
The singles reveal the breadth of his collaborative approach: Little Feet (feat. Ian Isiah and Breakaway), the party anthem Butt Sex, the restless NYC DOGS and the genre-blending Easy Does It (feat. Evanora Unlimited and Simone Alysia). At its heart is his longstanding creative partnership with producer FaltyDL. FOXES (feat. Tama Gucci) is the emotional high point, while Spread 4 Me nods to laid-back Americana pop.
For all its energy, Café Paradiso is a record about stillness. “It’s an album about enjoying your own company,” says Blanco, who calls it a festival album. Recorded in New York, it marks less a break than a refinement: an artist in command of his current form.
