NASHVILLE, TN, UNITED STATES, August 27, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Underground recording artist Son of Dior, the stage name of Tony Byaruhanga, has released his new album, Vienna, on Spotify. Released on August 21, 2026, the 12-track project examines his decision to give up love in pursuit of money, fame, and pleasure, followed by the regret that emerged from that choice. The album was developed over seven months as part of the artist’s continuing effort to share his music with a wider audience.

A Personal Story Told Across 12 Tracks

Running for 28 minutes and 52 seconds, Vienna presents a concise narrative about desire, sacrifice, emotional distance, and reflection. Its title serves as a symbolic destination connected to escape, aspiration, and the possibility of starting again.

The album begins with “Love IS A JOKE,” a 57-second opening track that introduces its wounded emotional perspective. Songs including “NIGHTFALL,” “DREADS (unmastered),” and “YOU’RE THE WORST” continue the story through moments of frustration, uncertainty, and romantic disappointment.
“SEE YOU IN VIENNA” closes the project with a sweet and simple arrangement. Its calm tone gives the album a reflective ending after the intensity of the earlier tracks.
“I spent seven months working on Vienna because I believe in this project and the story behind it,” said Tony Byaruhanga, recording artist known as 'Son of Dior'. “The album is about giving up love for money, fame, and pleasure, then realizing the emotional cost of that decision. I’ve been making music for six years, and I feel that my work has grown significantly over the past three years. I’m ready for more people to hear it.”

Alternative Hip-Hop With a Varied Musical Direction

Vienna is rooted in alternative hip-hop and incorporates gothic-rap, neo-soul, grunge-hop, and balladic elements. The changing production styles support the emotional movement of the album and give individual songs their own identity.
“VALENTINA MNT” uses brooding bass pulses and haunting vocals to create a gothic-rap atmosphere. “FALSO AMOR,” featuring Red Luna, draws on neo-soul foundations and rhythms influenced by African township storytelling.
Raw distortion and intense grunge-hop production shape “ESCAPE TO VIENNA.” On “ERASE ME,” serene sounds develop into falsetto crescendos, placing the focus on vulnerability and self-reflection.
The project also includes several collaborations. Red Luna appears on “FALSO AMOR” and “YOU’RE THE WORST,” while ELENA and OCHOA join Son of Dior on “HOW FUCKIN IRONIC.” OPGBIG3 is featured on “TOE TO TOE,” which follows the album’s brief 14-second interlude.

Six Years of Independent Artistic Development

Son of Dior has spent six years creating music and developing his artistic voice. He identifies the past three years as an important period of musical improvement, experimentation, and growing confidence.
With Vienna, the artist aims to introduce more listeners to his work and build greater awareness around his independent catalog. The album reflects his interest in emotionally honest writing, collaborative performances, and genre combinations that move beyond a single musical style.
