Summary
Today’s Top Tune: Diego Garcia ‘Could Be Better’
Diego Garcia returns with his new single “Could Be Better,” a natural continuation of the sound he first shaped as the frontman of Elefant. Reuniting with longtime collaborator Jeff James—Elefant’s bassist and producer of the track—the song blends Garcia’s signature romantic style with a stripped-back, minimal band feel. Recorded in Manhattan earlier this year, it marks the start of a new chapter, with more music in the same vein on the way.
