iann dior releases ‘CYCLES’ with standout single “TATTOOS & U”—a bold mix of rock, hip-hop, and emotion.
Multi-platinum artist iann dior has just released his powerful new album CYCLES through Big Noise, marking a bold new chapter in his career. With genre-defying soundscapes and raw, emotional vocals, CYCLES sees iann blending alternative, hip-hop, rock, and pop in a way that’s distinctly his own.
The album is executively produced by John Feldmann (blink-182, Good Charlotte, 5 Seconds of Summer), whose touch brings a kinetic energy to the project. From beginning to end, CYCLES dives into emotional highs and lows, wrapped in a sonically adventurous package that stays true to iann’s ever-evolving artistry.
“I wanted it to be less perfect,” iann dior shares. “I stopped editing out the flaws. Some of the best parts were recorded in one take with all the emotion still on my voice.” His commitment to emotional honesty is reflected across the album’s unfiltered tone. “The goal wasn’t to fit in a genre but to say what I needed to say and let the sound follow that.”
The standout lead single, “TATTOOS & U,” showcases that ethos with punchy guitars and an unforgettable hook. Its music video—filmed in NYC during his tour—follows iann through candid moments, from a tattoo session to backstage and street-level performances.
Fresh off a North American headline tour that included a set at Bottlerock Music Festival, iann dior will take the CYCLES experience on the road again. Upcoming appearances include Summerfest in Milwaukee on June 21 and Warped Tour in Long Beach, CA, on July 26–27.
