Niko Rubio Drops Tour Favorite “Fade Into You (Live From Honeysuckle Records)”

“Rubio possesses a hyper-femme dazzle… Her EPs vary in genre and sound, from indie rock to more hip-hop coded – and two are sung almost entirely in Spanish. But the whole enterprise reflects her pursuit of a coherent creative identity.” – THE NEW YORK TIMES

“Sunday Girl positions Rubio as a relatable, self-aware new voice blending alt-pop, her Latin roots and candid storytelling.” – WONDERLAND

“There’s sunshine in her wake, completely embodying the spirit of her culture and hometown of sparkling Los Angeles…(Rubio) has the look of someone who’s been up to no good and having pure fun.” – ONES TO WATCH

Acclaimed Mexican/Salvadoran-American singer-songwriter Niko Rubio is back with today’s premiere of “Fade Into You (Live From Honeysuckle Records),” a sultry live rendition of the Mazzy Star classic, available everywhere here. Rubio’s deeply personal version – which she performed nightly on her debut headline tour earlier this Spring – is also accompanied by an intimate performance video here.

“This cover is really special to me,” she shares. “I’ve loved Mazzy Star since I was little. Hope Sandoval is one of the first indie rock Latina legends from L.A., and I really wanted to pay homage to my city and Latin women in indie music. This song will live on forever…Fade into you forever <3”

“Fade Into You” marks Rubio’s first new music since the release of her critically acclaimed EP, Sunday Girl, earlier this April. The six-song project, available everywhere here, affirms the Los Angeles, CA-based artist as one of 2026’s most exciting new stars thanks to hits including “Pink Starburst,” “Five Star” and the irresistible title track, “Sunday Girl,” which was met with praise from outlets including HOLA! and Rolling Stone (which touted it among its “Songs You Need To Know” playlist).

Rubio – who recently graced the front page of the New York Times’ Style section and was hailed as “SoCal’s First Exciting New Pop Star Since Gwen Stefani” – celebrated the arrival of Sunday Girl with her first-ever headline run, The Sunday Girl Tour, which saw sold-out stops at iconic venues, including New York City’s Mercury Lounge and Los Angeles, CA’s The Echo. The latter show saw Rubio joined onstage by singer-songwriter Cuco for a live take on their collaborative fan favorite, “Sirena,” as well as by Incubus co-founder/guitarist Mike Einziger, who accompanied her for a once-in-a-lifetime rendition of Incubus’ iconic indie classic, “Drive.” Additionally, this week saw Rubio taking the stage at Los Angeles’ historic Hollywood Bowl, joining her friend Zuri Marley for a “Reggae Night XXIV” performance of their hit collaboration, “Ring Ring.”
