‘Searching’, released on December 5, 2025, showcases ZOCO at full cinematic throttle, distilling Marco Zocco’s boundary-pushing vision into a track that treats rock not as a genre but as an expanding universe. From the opening guitar line, the single announces its intent: bold riffs upfront, sweeping harmonic turns, and an emotional undercurrent that threads classical precision with modern edge. It’s the kind of production where every instrument seems to carry its own narrative — guitars leading, piano and synths colouring the horizon, and rhythmic pivots that hint at Zocco’s eclectic influences.

What drives the track’s power is Zocco’s unmistakable creative fingerprint. Raised in Geneva by American-Italian parents and shaped by a lifetime immersed in culture, language, and discipline, he balances instinct with intellect in a way few modern rock artists attempt. His engineering background and music-composition training at Stanford University seep into the structure of ‘Searching’, giving its grand, shape-shifting sections the coherence of deliberate design rather than indulgent experimentation.

Thematically, ‘Searching’ fits seamlessly into ZOCO’s larger catalogue — a body of work wrestling with purpose, love, digital overwhelm, and the weight of modern existence, while still celebrating the thrill of simply being alive. There’s humour, vulnerability, and a rebellious elegance running through the track, echoing the spirit of his influences: from David Bowie’s theatricality to System of a Down’s rhythmic chaos-order and the emotional charge of contemporary alt-pop.

‘Searching’ is rock made with craft, courage, and a cinematic sense of scale. ZOCO doesn’t revive the genre — he reshapes it. A powerful, meticulously built statement from an artist intent on carving his own path.
