“Solo,” The New Single From Latin Country Artist, Stokoff, Premiering On “Today In Nashville”
Stokoff’s new single Solo will premiere on NBC’s Today in Nashville on Friday, April 1 with an exclusive acoustic video to mark the single’s release worldwide. The premiere marks the artist’s second single of 2022 and will serve as a preview of his forthcoming new album of country music in Spanish releasing later this year.
“It’s not the typical sad story about a failed relationship, says Stokoff. “Solo is about finding happiness within yourself. You must be happy with your soul before you find someone to share a relationship with. It is when you are alone that you learn the most about yourself.”

In a recent interview with Vents Magazine, Stokoff reflected on the influence his Colombian heritage has played in music: “Colombia is a very colorful country with different musical sounds. As South Americans, we are very positive, passionate, and creative people, and all of these feelings are blended in my songs.”
This new single will follow up on the recent success of the previous release Una Amante Mas, which landed on both Apple Music Country Host Ty Bentli’s curated Apple Music Playlist, as well as the official Academy of Country Music’s own New Music Friday playlist.
Stokoff released his full album, Country Music Hits En Español Y Mas, in early 2021 and has seen over a million streams on Spotify across the songs. The collection features remakes and adaptations of the country hits from artists such as Jason Aldean, Tim McGraw, Old Dominion, Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban and Rascal Flatts, alongside Stokoff originals.
